Leaky Mode | Alker Fibre Optic Specialists

Leaky Mode

A mode having a field that decays monotonically for a finite distance in the transverse direction but becomes oscillatory everywhere beyond that finite distance. Such a mode gradually “leaks” out of the waveguide as it travels down it, producing attenuation even if the waveguide is perfect in every respect.
