Curvature loss formula for optical fibers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The loss formula for optical fibers with constant radius of curvature of their axes is derived by expressing the field outside of the fiber in terms of a superposition of cylindrical outgoing waves. The expansion coefficients are determined by matching the superposition field to the field of the fiber along a cylindrical surface that is tangential to the outer perimeter of the curved fiber. This method is a direct extension of my derivation of the curvature-loss formula for slab guides.
