Abstract :
A new and powerful analysis of microbending in generic single-mode fibres is outlined. The calculation avoids cumbersome evaluations of the coupling coefficients and allows the derivation of a simple and better approximated expression for the microbending losses. More severe upper and lower bounds to the possible losses are also provided.
