Abstract
In this paper we investigate and quantify the dynamic behavior of the
mode partition noise variance. We found that the mode partition noise variance
is largest at the bit boundaries and depends on the slope (edge transition
times) of the signal in links with one propagating fiber mode. In multimode
fibers we show similar dependence, although the mode partition noise is reduced
because fiber mode groups mix the chromatically dispersed laser modes responsible
for mode partition noise.
