Improved method for estimating the minimum length of modal filters fabricated for stellar interferometry

We present an improved theoretical model to estimate the minimum fiber length required for achieving a desired degree of wavefront filtering in stellar interferometry. The proposed model is based on modal analysis of the fiber and is compared with numerical results obtained through the beam propagat...
