Abstract

Two functions for calculating the width of the output angular power distribution are tested for light launched centrally along the axis of a step-index plastic optical fiber. It is found that the more recent of the two agrees better with experimental measurements. The other function (Gloge's) underestimates the output width for longer fiber lengths, which is attributed to it not accounting for an appropriate boundary condition at the critical propagation angle. © 2010 IOP Publishing Ltd.
