Abstract
We report a theoretical study on the characteristics of a commercial photonic crystal fiber claimed to be endlessly single mode, i.e. the LMA-15 fiber. The study was carried out using a finite element leaky mode solver. By using a loss discrimination between the fundamental and higher order leaky modes as a multi/single-mode criterion, we obtained that the fiber is obviously multimode in short wavelengths, even for long length beyond the practically usable length of the fiber.
