We present complete Fermi-surface mappings of an untwinned single crystal of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{delta}} in two distinct photon polarization geometries. Various methods for Fermi-surface determination with angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy are discussed and a technique based on the momentum space density of states is developed and applied. The data reveal the presence of two CuO{sub 2} plane-derived Fermi-surface pockets, along with weak evidence for a single chain sheet, in agreement with earlier work on twinned crystals and {ital ab initio} predictions, but show no sign of the expected {open_quotes}stick{close_quotes} pocket centered at ({pi},{pi}). In contrast with earlier work on Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}CaCu{sub 2}O{sub 8+{delta}}, we see no evidence for {open_quotes}shadow bands{close_quotes} in optimally doped YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7{minus}{delta}}, supporting the contention that these features arise from structural rather than magnetic correlations. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society}
