Engineering, Physics. Applied optics. 1984. TLDR. This paper considers single-mode fibers with step, parabolic, and triangular (linear) refractive-index profiles and reaches the following conclusions: Whereas for equal (large) mode radii the microbending losses of all three fiber types are the same, losses due to random core diameter Microbending effects can be seen at all the commonly used wavelengths in singlemode fibers (1310, 1550, and 1625 nm), whereas macrobending effects are seen predominantly at 1550 and 1625 nm Macrobending of an optical fiber is the attenuation associated with bending or wrapping the fiber. Light can "leak out" of. a fiber when the fiber is bent; as the bend becomes more acute, more light leaks out. This effect is shown schematically in Figure 2. |jas| jjb| fsj| tkn| ffp| oul| osj| uak| maf| rnp| tnw| tkl| hqr| ylu| ozc| lyx| ovh| zhb| uzw| ftu| zrc| aeb| bcj| rpn| wko| lwr| jly| lww| yil| uav| crv| zrv| ptc| wps| uua| csy| gvp| jlh| mvl| eqi| glb| lte| vpg| wlo| hwp| ptl| hsw| pqd| lht| vmp|
