Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Described is a general strategy of bend-compensated, single-mode LMA fibers extended into a regime with higher total index contrast and where a larger gradient is used to cancel the perturbation of a tighter anticipated bend.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A bend-compensated LMA optical fiber comprising: a core region having a longitudinal axis, a refractive index n core and a radius r core , a cladding region surrounding said core region, said core and cladding regions configured to support and guide the propagation of signal light at a predetermined wavelength λ in a fundamental transverse mode in said core region in the direction of said axis, wherein the effective mode area of said LMA fiber is at least 300λ 2 ,…
