Abstract
A full-vectorial integral expression is derived to compute the effecti ve mode area of any Kerr-type nonlinear optical waveguide working in a self-phase-modulation regime. In order to highlight the correction br ought by the vectorial approach in a strong guidance situation, we com pare the effective area of a tapered fiber computed by the usual scala r expression with the one obtained with the full-vectorial approach.
