Design of a trenched bend insensitive single mode optical fiber using spot size definitions

Opt Express. 2008 Sep 1;16(18):13545-51. doi: 10.1364/oe.16.013545.

Abstract

We have designed a bend insensitive single mode optical fiber with a low-index trench using spot-size definitions and their optimization technique. The bending loss at a 5 mm of bending radius was negligible, while single mode properties were intact.
