Effects of the coating in single-mode slab waveguide with varying curvature:a new approach to understanding bend loss

Durniak, CelineLove, John2015-12-07June 24-279780977565733http://hdl.handle.net/1885/23850We present analytical and numerical results that describe and quantify bend loss. Our approach is based on the coupling between fundamental and cladding modes with changing curvature in single-mode waveguides with finite cladding and absorbing coating.Keywords: Computer networks; Fibers; Optical fibers; Optical materials; Bend losses; Fibre technology; Optical Internet; Optical-; InternetEffects of the coating in single-mode slab waveguide with varying curvature:a new approach to understanding bend loss200710.1109/COINACOFT.2007.45192002015-12-07
