Abstract: This paper investigates wavelength dependence of equilibrium mode distribution and steady-state distribution in W-type (double-clad) microstructured polymer optical fibers (mPOFs) with a solid core for parametrically varied refractive index and width of the intermediate layer (IL) (inner cladding) by solving the time-independent power flow equation (TI PFE). In the case of wider IL, independent of wavelength, the lengths for establishing the equilibrium mode distribution and steady-state distribution are larger. We have demonstrated that the wavelength has no effect on these lengths for IL's width that is larger. These lengths drop in a wavelength-dependent manner as the IL's width decreases. Equilibrium mode distribution and steady-state distribution occur at shorter optical fiber lengths as the depth of the IL diminishes, which is due to the similarly declining number of leaky modes. The smaller the depth of the IL, the shorter the fiber length is required for completion of the coupling process. These programmable characteristics allow double-clad W-type mPOFs to be easier customized for a particular use in optical fiber sensors and communications at various wavelengths.
