  • Abstract
    The power-series expansion method has been used to compute the exact cutoff frequencies of TM modes in step-index fibers for various values of relative refractive index difference (Δ), ranging from 0.005 to 0.1. The difference between the propagation constants of TM and TE modes, intermodal delay between TM and TE modes, and their variation with respect to the relative refractive-index difference has also been calculated. Numerical results show that for a fiber with \\Delta = 0.005 the intermodal delay between TM01and TE01modes is of the order of 1.5 ps/km at frequencies far away from cutoff, whereas it is of the order of 0.62 ns/km for \\Delta = 0.1 .
