Abstract
A new measurement system has been developed that simply determines the refractive-index profile of any optical fiber by analyzing the propagation of cladding modes. Measurement accuracy was verified by a comparison with the refractive near-field method, and a sufficient resolution level was achieved to produce the fine structural details in single-mode fibers.
