the width of the fundamental guided mode of a single-mode fiber, approximated by a Gaussian, which governs splice loss and bending behaviour.

In photonics and optical engineering, mode field diameter refers to the width of the fundamental guided mode of a single-mode fiber, approximated by a Gaussian, which governs splice loss and bending behaviour. This meaning comes from Marcuse (1977) in Bell System Technical Journal.[1]
