Title :
Conical modes in an optical fiber: The cut-off effect
Author_Institution :
OFS Labs., Somerset, NJ, USA
Abstract :
The transmission spectrum of the recently discovered localized conical modes in an optical fiber exhibits a cut-off effect at the wavelength independent of the local fiber radius. This effect is observed experimentally and explained theoretically.
