- 8 - AN OPTICAL FIBER MODE SCRAMBLER Abstract The present invention relates to a mode scrambling arrangement for a multimode or graded-index optical fiber and, more particularly, to an optical fiber mode scrambler achieved by forming a deformation as, for example, a groove or notch on one side of the multimode or graded-index optical fiber orthogonal to the longitudinal axis thereof. The groove or notch can be produced by any suitable etching or machining process to extend through the cladding layer and at least very slightly into the outer surface of the core of the multimode or graded-index optical fiber. The depth of the groove or notch into the core can be controlled by monitoring the mode pattern in the multimode fiber during the etching or machining process to provide maximum mode scrambling with minimal loss.
