Key Points

Characterize diffractional distortion affecting off-axis light beams across different trajectory types within multibeam optical waveguide systems.
Modeled diffraction effects for two distinct off-axis beam path configurations relevant to optical trunk communications.
Demonstrated that off-axis beam propagation induces path-dependent diffractional distortions within the waveguide structure.
Illustrated structural beam profile degradation across multibeam guide configurations intended for high-capacity communication.
