Abstract
An effective cutoff wavelength λceff in single-mode fibers is defined, and a simple interferometric method for its determination is demonstrated. This method is essentially independent of launching conditions and differential mode attenuation. At λceff the power fraction of the LP11 mode in the core is less than 1/e.
