研究目的
Exploring the confinement of light in parabolic optical fibers and understanding the different forms modes take in such fibers, including the appropriate eigenfunction for spectral analysis.
研究成果
The paper concludes that exact eigenvalue equations of parabolic fibers of step-index profile can be calculated and expressed in closed-form solutions using a mode-matching method and Weber-Hermite parabolic cylindrical functions. It also highlights the interesting shapes modes can take in this basis and the need for further experimental testing.
研究不足
The paper does not explicitly mention limitations but suggests that further experimental testing is needed to study and understand the dispersion characteristics and advantages of parabolic fibers in fiber optical communication systems.
