I repeated this process once more, this time using the computer controlled stage that the beam profiler is designed to be mounted to.
These data//fitting appears to be within error bars. The range of my measurements was limited when the beam width was near the effective aperture of the profiler.
This latest trial yielded a waist of 4um, located 2.9 mm inside the fiber for the X profile, and 3.0mm inside the fiber for the Y profile.

Code is attached in fiberModeMeasurement4.zip. Note that the z=0 point is defined as the end of the fiber. |
