    We analyzed modal cutoff in microstructured optical fibers, reconciling their single-mode behavior with complex propagation constants. This reveals critical changes in the second mode, defining the limits of the endlessly single-mode regime.

    Area of Science:

    • Optical Physics
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Microstructured optical fibers exhibit unique light-guiding properties.
    • Understanding modal behavior is crucial for fiber design and application.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze modal cutoff in finite cross-section microstructured optical fibers.
    • To reconcile the endlessly single-mode behavior with complex propagation constants.
    • To define the parameter space for single-mode operation.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of modal cutoff phenomena.
    • Investigation of propagation constants, losses, effective area, and multipolar structure.
    • Determination of the parameter subspace for single-mode operation.

    Main Results:
