Abstract

Analytical transfer matrix method (ATMM) is a method for calculating the propagation constant in weakly guiding optical fiber. By using ATMM, the optical fiber with a depression in the index profile center and a valley in the cladding layer is analyzed. Compared with Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin (WKB) method, the simulation result of differential mode delay (DMD) by using ATMM fits well with the experimental results obtained by Takahashi. Based on ATMM, by increasing the depth of central depression in a W-shaped index fiber, the improvement of DMD is also discussed.
