Abstract
Optical fibre coating degradation under high power is directly linked to power dissipated in the bend. Bend insensitive fibres have much weaker heating response to the same input power in the bend than more bend sensitive fibres. Fibre lifetime predictions under high power and bending also are impacted by fibre deployment and the properties of coating material.
