Abstract: | Modal dispersion properties of a fabricated plastic optical fiber are numerically calculated through a finite-element method. The modal index, group delay, impulse response, and output pulse shape are compared with those for the power-law profile plastic optical fiber; the influence of index profile deviations from the power-law profile is described. It is shown that index profile fluctuations in the actual index profile strongly affect the group delays, even though they are relatively small. On the other hand, they have little effect on the modal indices. |
