Abstract
To compute the near field pattern (NFP) of a silica graded-index multimode fibre, a fullwave
model has been implemented. A single-mode fibre pigtail, with possible angular tilt and radial offset, excites the wavefield. The amplitudes of the propagating modes are computed
by overlap integrals. The graded-index a-profile has been determined by matching differential mode delay simulations to measurements. Differential mode attenuation and
mode-mixing are introduced through a power-flow equation. Only minor parameter adjustments suffice to obtain a satisfactory match between measurements and simulations. To gain a better understanding of the phenomena, NFPs have been determined for a range of excitation positions and angles.
