摘要: The results of an investigation into the bend loss as a function of wavelength for single-radius bends in monomode fibers are given. The fibers considered have a high numerical aperture and a protective coating which has a refractive index greater than that of the cladding. For these fibers the pure bend loss is shown to be the dominant loss mechanism over the wavelength range 633-1152 nm. In addition, oscillations in the loss are observed as the bend radius is varied at the longer wavelengths. These oscillations are shown to result …
