Abstract
In this work we investigate the coating damages in optical fibers under the simultaneous effects of high optical power and tight bending. The power losses and coating heating imposed by the high power propagation have been measured for a SMF fiber. We have implemented a theoretical thermal model for the fiber bend and the minimum safety bend diameter has been established.
