This paper describes an extension of a forward light scattering model which can be used to control the concentricity of a lightguide fiber with the thin primary coating of a dual-coated multimode fiber. A model has been developed to extract information generated by the core-clad interface of the multimode fiber from the forward scattered pattern, and to use this information for concentricity control.
