Resumen: Here, we propose a method to estimate misalignment losses that is based on the calculation of the radiated angular power distribution as light propagates through space using the fiber far field pattern (FFP) and simplifying and speeding calculations with the Hankel transform. This method gives good estimates for combined transversal and longitudinal losses at short, intermediate and long offset distances. In addition, the same methodology can be adapted to describe not only scalar loss but also its angular dependence caused by misalignments. We show that this approach can be applied to upgrade a connector matrix included in a propagation model that is integrated into simulation software. This way, we assess the effects of misalignments at different points in the link and are able to predict the performance of different layouts at system level.
