  • Abstract
    We report a very simple method for measuring the mode spot size in single-mode fibres on the same apparatus as used for attenuation measurements without additional fibre handling. Measurements as a function of wavelength lead to the equivalent step index parameters allowing one to predict directly the splice, microbending and curvature losses.
