Calculation of the guided mode in multimode fiber

For a step-index multimode fiber, the approximate number of guided modes is: M ≈ V² / 2 For a graded-index fiber, the approximate number of guided modes is: M ≈ V² / 4 If V < 2. 405, the fiber is in the single-mode region. As an example of a multimode waveguide, Figure 3 shows the transverse profiles of all the LP modes of a multimode fiber. Figure 3: Electric field amplitude profiles for all the guided modes of a fiber (disregarding the distinction between versions with $mathrm{cos}lphi$ and $mathrm{sin}lphi$). What determines the number of guided modes of a multimode fiber? Can we generalize a well-known equation (based on the V-number) which holds only for step-index fibers, so that we ha...
