Propagation characteristics of curved optical fibres

Propagation characteristics of curved optical fibres
Propagation characteristics of curved optical fibres
Experimental and theoretical studies have been carried out on propagation in curved single-mode optical fibres. Mode conversion at the start of a bend produces a transition region which affects the bend loss, transverse energy distribution and gives rise to ray emission. It is shown that the modes of a curved multimode fibre can be conveniently and simply described using parabolic cylindrical co-ordinates.

Abstract

Experimental and theoretical studies have been carried out on propagation in curved single-mode optical fibres. Mode conversion at the start of a bend produces a transition region which affects the bend loss, transverse energy distribution and gives rise to ray emission. It is shown that the modes of a curved multimode fibre can be conveniently and simply described using parabolic cylindrical co-ordinates.
