I am trying to figure out methods to calculate spatial mode(s) inside
optical fiber using measured refractive index profile.

First thing that i can think about is Finite Element Analysis.

Is there other way to get this calculation done?

"Beam propagation method" (BPM) is one of the buzz-phrases you want to
search for.

Some available books:

[1] D. Marcuse, Theory of Dielectric Optical Waveguides, New York:
Academic Press, 1974.

Keywords: Early laser books, Fiber optics, BPM, planar waveguides,
Leaky modes, Hollow waveguide, optical waveguide analysis.

[2] M. J. Adams, Introduction to Optical Waveguides: Wiley, 1981.

Keywords: Early laser books, optical fiber, optical waveguide
theory, Graded index, Hollow waveguide, optical waveguide analysis.

Abstract: The book presents an integrated introduction to optical
waveguide theory, covering planar, rectangular and circular guides. In
each case progress from the conducting-wall to dielectric versions,
including graded-index distributions, is discussed. The theory is
applied to a wide range of practical problems including; guidance in
stripe-geometry heterostructure lasers, various guiding structures for
integrated optics, hollow guides for waveguide lasers and dispersion in
monomode and multimode optical fibres. (778 refs.)

[3] T. Okoshi, Optical fibers: Academic Press, 1982.

Keywords: Early laser books, Fiber optics, book, optical fibers,
optical waveguide analysis.


[4] A. W. Snyder and J. D. Love, Optical waveguide theory: Chapman and
Hall, 1983.

Keywords: Early laser books, Fiber optics, book, optical waveguide
analysis.

Notes: Classic early work, very extensive and detailed -- but not
always easy to read.

[5] C. Tsao, Optical fibre waveguide analysis: Oxford University
Press,, 1992.

Keywords: Fiber optics, book, optical waveguide analysis

Notes: Haven't seen this?

[6] K. Okamoto, Fundamentals of Optical Waveguides: Academic Press,
2000.

Keywords: Optical waveguides, fiber optics, BPM, FEM, optical
waveguide analysis

Notes: Very good, detailed text on optical waveguide and fiber modes
and especially on numerical methods for calculating such modes,
including FEM and BPM methods. Recommended by George Lawrence.

[7] K. Kawano and T. Kitoh, Introduction to Optical Waveguide
Analysis: Wiley, 2001.

Keywords: Optical fibers, waveguides, numerical calculations, FFT,
BPM, optical wavegide analysis

Notes: Good summary of equations for analyzing optical waveguides and
fibers, plus considerable detail on numerical analysis methods.
