Abstract
We present here a rapidly converging numerical procedure for the evaluation of the propagation characteristics of a single-mode optical fiber with an arbitrary complex refractive index profile, To illustrate the procedure, we have first applied it to a fiber with a complex step index profile. As an application, we have used it to evaluate the gain in a typical 980-nm pumpe d erbium-doped fiber.
