  • Abstract
    Through the concept of `the effective refractive index¿ of a step-index W-fibre, we can define, in a very simple manner, lower bounds on the normalised cutoff frequencies of the fundamental and second modes of that particular fibre. This allows us to specify the `normalised range of monomode operation¿ which for most W-fibres has a constant value of 1.427.
