  • Abstract
    The energy loss and field distribution in a curved single-mode fibre are calculated in terms of the coupling between the fundamental (LP01) mode and the radiation field. In agreement with recent experimental results, it is found that, initially, light travels in a zigzag path around the bend, and radiation is emitted in discrete beams.
