Two-dimensional index distribution determination from near-field measurements in single-mode fibres

Abstract
The refractive-index distribution of single-mode optical fibres can be obtained from transmitted near-field intensity measurements. The generalisation of the method from conventional fibres to noncircularly symmetric guides (e.g. polarisation-maintaining fibres) is discussed. Results obtained both on circular and on polarisation-maintaining fibres are presented.
