Bending-induced optical loss in random-hole optical fibers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We present the experimentally determined optical bend loss for random hole optical fibers in the spectral range 1520  to 1570nm induced by wrapping the optical fiber around a fixed diameter mandrel. The optical losses are compared to those obtained for a single-mode fiber and a multimode fiber using the same bending procedures. The bending induced optical losses in the random hole optical fibers were several orders of magnitude lower than for the single-mode fiber and were about 1 order of magnitude lower than for the multimode fiber.
