Power flow equation is used to calculate equilibrium mode distribution in W-type glass optical fibers. It has been shown how the coupling length for achieving the equilibrium mode distribution in W-type glass optical fibers varies with the depth and width of the intermediate layer and coupling strength for different widths of launch beam distribution. W-type optical fibers have shown effectiveness in reducing modal dispersion and bending loss.
