Abstract
A new trial function which extends the generalized Gaussian method for the study of weakly guiding single-mode fibers is presented. This function uses only simple elementary functions to approximate the fundamental modal fields. In many cases of study, we show that the present trial function gives a significant improvement over the existing trial functions, and it is very useful in the analysis of fibers and related devices
