Cross talk in absorbing optical fibers.
Cross talk between neighboring optical fibers is shown to alter the absorption spectrum of the fibers. There is an enhancement of absorption at shorter wavelengths and a consequent shift of the absorption peak towards the short-wavelength end of the spectrum. Curves are presented to illustrate the effect. Results are given in a dimensionless form, applicable to fibers with arbitrary physical parameters.
