Abstract: A system of aligning concatenated sections of multicore optical fiber incorporates the capability of intentionally changing core assignments as part of the azimuthal alignment process. The intentional changing of core assignments, referred to as offset clocking, compensates for differences in properties of the individual core regions in a way that reduces variations between the spatial channels supported in the transmission system. The offset clocking technique can be used, e.g., to improve the attenuation (or other selected properties of the propagating signals). The offset clocking technique may be used to step through sequential changes core assignments at one or more splice locations (passive clocking) or identify a particular pairing of cores from one fiber section to the next (e.g., “good quality” core assigned to a “poor quality” signal exiting the first section) and rotate the fiber sections with respect to each other to achieve this particular core assignment.
