Description/Abstract

The local plane-wave decomposition approach used to analyse optical fibres of arbitrary refractive-index profiles has been extended to include the case of so called 'leaky' rays. The result thus obtained for acceptance angle represents a generalisation of results derived previously for simple forms of the profile by geometrical-optics methods.
