  • Abstract
    Refractive index profiles and mode field radii determine small-radius bending losses in single-mode fibres. Losses in six different types of fibres were measured in bends with radii ranging from 1.25 to 8 mm. The results show that a refractive index depression in the core centre reduces the bending-loss sensitivity.
