  • Abstract
    A new method for approximating steady-state mode power distribution (SMPD) in graded-index fibres is described. It has been shown that a biconical taper is a very simple and effective means to launch SMPD in short lengths of fibres. Prefabricated tapers can be directly used as component between the source and the test fibre. Experimental results are presented.
