Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provides a deterministic scrambler (1) arranged in a multimode optical fiber (130) for scrambling light, the light comprising a set of optical signals propagated in said multimode optical fiber according to a set of propagation modes, each propagation mode being associated with a power value, wherein the scrambler is configured to determine a permutation of said propagation modes depending on the power values associated with said propagation modes, the scrambler being configured to redistribute the optical signals according to said permutation of the propagation modes.
