•We present an improved version of our earlier developed analytical field model for the fundamental mode of index-guiding microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) in order to obtain better accuracy in the simulated results. Using this model, we have studied the splice losses between an MOF and a traditional step-index single-mode fiber (SMF).
We present an improved version of our earlier developed analytical field model for the fundamental mode of index-guiding microstructured optical fibers (MOFs), to obtain better accuracy in the simulated results.

Comparisons with available experimental and numerical simulation results have also been included.
