18. Cladding of fibres B and C: Corning Corguide, 50 μm core diameter, 125 μm outer diameter, NA = 0.21. This fibre had a double-cladding structure, which when drawn down becomes equivalent to a step index core with an NA of 0.18. Cladding of fibre D: Thorlabs GIF625: 62.5 μm core diameter, 125 μm outer diameter, graded index, NA = 0.275. Core of fibre B: Corning SMF 28, 9 μm core diameter, 125 μm outer diameter, NA = 0.14. A different single-mode fibre with a 3.5 μm core diameter, 125 μm outer diameter and NA = 0.11 was used in the core of fibres C and D.
