Bend performance of leakage channel fibers
Optics Express, 2008 Bend loss of the first three modes of leakage channel fibers with various designs are studied using finite element method. It is found that very low bend loss at small bend radius can be achieved with large d/Delta. It is also found that best differential mode loss is achieved at large bend radius. It is further found that 2nd order mode loss becomes 9.
