Calculation of Fundamental Mode Properties for Single-Mode Fibers
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this research, properties for the fundamental mode of single-mode step-index optical fibers with core diameters 9.8–15.6 µm, core refractive index and cladding refractive index are calculated at a wavelength of 1.55 µm by using RP Fiber Calculator and then compared with the results obtained from equations. It is shown that there is a good agreement for all properties. These results can be useful for designing practical fibers
