Abstract :
In the paper the ray tracing method for analysis of Double-Clad (DC) fibers has been applied. The algorithm permits to determine attenuation, power density and absorption along a fiber. The most popular symmetrical, asymmetrical and D-shape fibers have been analyzed. The results show that the differences in pumping efficiency for the analyzed fibers are not significant.
