摘要
A multistep-index (MSI) plastic optical fiber (POF) has been intensively studied as an alternative to high-bandwidth graded-index (GI) POFs during the past decade. The propagation modes in MSI POFs are more complicated than those of GI POFs. We obtain all the propagation modes in MSI large-core highly multimode fibers with a core diameter of 500 mu m by the use of a finite-element method and demonstrate that many modes in MSI fibers have anomalous behavior which cannot be observed in power-law profile fibers. Our numerical results elucidate detailed transmission properties of MSI large-core highly multimode fibers, including the effective index, group delay, mode field, root-mean-square pulse width, and bandwidth.
