A semi-analytical calculation method of bending loss for large-mode-area fibers with arbitrary refractive-index profile

Predicting mode-dependent bending loss is important for large-mode-area (LMA) fibers to strip out unwanted modes. In order to seek a reasonable calculation method, a new bending loss formula that allows for both mode field distortion and weaker mode confinement was derived in detail. Based on the formula, a semi-analytical method was introduced to calculate the mode bending loss for LMA fibers. By combining the applications of the finite element method, discrete Fourier transforms and numerical integral, the method is valid for LMA fibers with arbitrary refractive index profile. The obtained loss characteristics are basically consistent with the previous results. This accordance demonstrates the feasibility and generality of the semi-analytical method.

The defined sensitivity formula has the benefit of showing parameters for fiber-optic bending sensor systems.

Analytical evaluation of bending loss oscillations in photonic crystal fibers

In this paper we present an analytical formula for bending loss oscillations in photonic crystal fibers (PCFs). We follow the approach originally adopted for conventional double-clad fibers and show that it can be applied to PCFs by substituting the structural parameters of the conventional fiber by their PCF counterparts. We then examine the spectral dependence of the critical bending radius and the position of the first order loss peak as a function of structural parameters of the PCF cladding such as the fill factor and the number of hole rings. Finally, we evaluate the precision of the analytical model by comparing the results to finite element calculations for a selection of PCF geometries.     

Study of bending loss and mode field diameter in depressed inner core triple-clad single-mode optical fibers

In this paper, the bending loss and the mode field diameter (MFD) of the R-type depressed inner core triple clad single-mode optical fibers are investigated. The effects of the optical and geometrical parameters on the bending loss and the MFD are examined in these fibers. The simulation results indicate that with increasing of the core radius (a), which is desired from manufacturing point of view, the bending loss and MFD coefficients are decreased. Consequently, the large core radius can be used to optimize the bending loss in the foregoing fibers. In the meantime, simulation outcomes show that the Δ and Q have considerable impact on the bending loss in the RI and RII fibers, respectively. The MFD and bending loss is decreased with increasing of Δ, but the case is inversed for Q. Based on the presented simulations, it is found out that the bending loss strongly depends on the distribution profile of the electric field in the cladding region for a given MFD. In other words, the field amplitude and damping rate in the cladding region determine the fiber bending loss.
