In this paper we discuss aging influence on optical properties of POF. We propose a raytracing POF model capable of modelling fibre imperfections, attenuation and mode coupling. The model is validated for a non-aged and aged fibre sample by comparing measured and simulated far field profiles and optimising values of model parameters to get the best fit. Resulting sets of optimised parameters are compared and represent influence of specific aging conditions on fibre in terms of very basic optical properties.
