  • Abstract
    We study, both theoretically and experimentally, the micro-bending behavior of single-trench-assisted bend-insensitive and large effective-area fibers. We show how the trench significantly reduces the micro-bend losses compared to those of standard step-index profiles of single-mode fibers.
