Abstract :
The normal facet full vector problem is accurately solved for a vector circular optical fibre with a high efficiency algorithm. The free space radiation mode (FSRM) method is used to investigate the facet reflectivity for a set of incident modes having all six components of electromagnetic field dependent on all three spatial coordinates. The analysis yields a simple integral for the reflection coefficient for each mode, which makes calculations fast and reliable. Vector results for the reflectivity of the fundamental EH/sub 11/ mode are compared with the scalar ones showing significant quantitative differences between them (<40 dB).
