Abstract
The excitation of a multi-clad optical fibre by a misaligned gaussian beam is analysed using a least-squares boundary residual modal technique and a Born approximation. The modal technique is used to analyse the axial coupling via a gap between two aligned fibres. Comparison is made with a method based on a gaussian approximation for the fibre fields. Results of the modal technique confirm the accuracy of the Born approximation when corrected for Fresnel reflection. However, the modal technique is more precise than the other methods when serious mismatch exists and is efficient for treating the gap problem, where the Born approximation is not applicable.
