Mode Field Diameter Definitions for Few-Mode Fibers Based on Spot Size of Higher-Order Gaussian Mode

The spot size at which the electric field distribution for higher-order modes in few-mode fibers (FMFs) is approximated by a higher-order Gaussian profile is a promising parameter for estimating various transmission characteristics. To establish a technique for measuring the mode field diameter (MFD...
