Abstract

The exact field solution of a step-index profile fiber was used to determine the excitation efficiency of a distribution of sources in the core of an optical fiber. We have compared previous results of a thin-film cladding source distribution to its core source counterpart. The behavior of power efficiency P_eff with the fiber parameters was examined and found to be similar to the behavior exhibited by cladding sources. It was also found that a core source fiber is two orders of magnitude more efficient than a fiber with a bulk distribution of cladding sources. This result agrees, qualitatively, with previous ones obtained experimentally.
