Abstract :
The accuracy of the scalar approximation technique in optical fiber analysis is investigated in detail. The scalar approximate solutions are compared numberically with the vector (rigorous) solutions for various linear refractive-index distributions, and several interesting features which are of practical importance are pointed out.
