Abstract
An experimental equivalent-step-index (ESI) technique for the characte risation of an arbitrary singlemode fibre is proposed, which is based on equalising the Petermann spot sizes of the actual fibre and the ESI fibre. Numerical results for several common profile shapes are presen ted and discussed. This technique is particularly suitable for predict ing the properties of singlemode fibres at 1.55 mu m that were origina lly designed to operate at 1.3 mu m.
