  • Abstract
    In this paper, new techniques for the easy implementation of the measurement of the mode field radius in single-mode optical fibers are discussed. All of them are based on a dynamical filtering of the fiber output radiation and on a subsequent detection of suitable harmonic components. The capabilities of these procedures are considered, showing typical experimental results.
