Abstract
A method of assessing the power penalty at a given bit error rate of a multimode fiber including measuring a set of elementary fiber responses corresponding to different offset launches of light over the core radius into the multimode fiber, generating a global fiber response by applying, to the set of elementary fiber responses, a set of weighting coefficients and delays depending on the different offset launches of the elementary fiber responses, and computing a parameter representative of a fiber power penalty from the global fiber response, wherein the set of weighting coefficients includes several subsets of weighting coefficients time delayed relative to one another, wherein at least one relative time delay is not set to zero, and wherein weighting coefficients of each subset depend on the different offset launches of the elementary fiber responses.
