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 o...
