Determination of core diameter and refractive-index difference of single-mode fibres by observation of the far-field pattern

A method is described for determining unambiguously, from the far-field pattern of single-mode fibres, the core diameter and the refractive-index difference between core and cladding. It involves measurements only of the half-power width of the main lobe and the width of the first minimum. Universal...
