  • Abstract
    Mode spectra launched conventionally and using the chromatic launching (CL) method are analyzed using the central spot far field (CSFF) method. This is applied to study the differential mode loss and mode conversion properties of passive optical fiber components manufactured using the fused-head-end (FHE) technique.
