  • Abstract
    We present direct methods for determination of equivalent-step-index (ESI) parameters and file modal field by measurement of the wavelength dependence of the far-field intensity in single-mode fibers. A comparison is made with the spot-size method commonly used for characterization of such fibers. A new technique for measuring the LP11mode cutoff wavelength is also presented.
