Abstract :
In this paper a new method for spotsizemeasurement for singlemode optical components is presented. Based from the classical farfieldmethod where the measurements are made circular, the mounting of the used rotary stages and the long measurement time are great disadvantages. In this paper a new planar method is described which overcomes these problems. Eased on the measurement of a single mode fibre in accordance with ITU Recommendation G.652 the efficiency is demonstrated and discussed.
