Correction factors for the determination of optical-fibre refractive-index profiles by the near-field scanning technique

Numerical calculations are presented of the correction factor for use with the near-field scanning method of index profile determination. It is shown that a single curve can be applied to a range of possible profiles, and a numerically obtained average curve is given.
