Geometric optics analysis of inverted graded index fibers
We derive a general solution based on geometric optics that describes the light propagation properties in multimode optical fibers with inverted refractive index profiles. Using this general solution, we classify rays according to their propagation properties and calculate the analytical expressions...

| Sumario: | We derive a general solution based on geometric optics that describes the light propagation properties in multimode optical fibers with inverted refractive index profiles. Using this general solution, we classify rays according to their propagation properties and calculate the analytical expressions of the ray trajectories inside these fibers under different launching conditions. In addition, we discuss the most suitable propagation conditions that maximize the confinement of light power in the vicinity of the core-cladding interface for sensing purposes. |
