Abstract :
The six guided vector modes propagating on a equilateral three-core fibre with the component cores arrayed in an equilateral triangle have been calculated using a rigorous fullwave approach. It is shown that the polarisation patterns of these modes can also be obtained by manipulating the array modes determined using the coupled-mode theory.
