Abstract
Core dopant profiles have been measured in weakly fused single-mode fibres. The results show that the peak refractive index of the cores decreases and the core size increases during fusing, contrary to previously proposed models. This suggests that the field is still guided by the cores and that the coupling mechanism model should include the effects of the cores for weakly fused fibres
