The effective refractive index and the range of monomode operation for W-fibres

Through the concept of 'the effective refractive index' of a step-index W-fibre, we can define, in a very simple manner, lower bounds on the normalised cutoff frequencies of the fundamental and second modes of that particular fibre. This allows us to specify the 'normalised range of m...
