Abstract Snyder's equivalent step-index method is extended to the case of graded profiles with a depressed cladding. This method is then used to determine the limit of monomode operation. Comparison with the results obtained by an exact numerical technique is made for a large variety of simulated profiles, including those with ripples in the cladding. Conclusions are drawn concerning the sensitivity of various profile-shapes to such ripple structure. The method is applied also to measured profiles, reconstructed by a well-known tomographic procedure. In this latter case a comparison is made with experimentally determined values.
