Abstract
This paper presents a multimode optical fiber design that has high tolerance to bending. Average bending loss per mode for a standard 50 µm graded index multimode fiber is 8.06E+08 dB/km for a bending radius of 1.25mm and particularly for fundamental mode it is 2.18E+02 dB/km. Whereas, simulation results show that average bending loss per mode in the case of the proposed bend insensitive multimode fiber for a bending radius of 1.25mm is about 2.67E-11 dB/km and particularly for the fundamental mode it is 1.96E-32 dB/km only. It is also observed that the proposed design is consistent with standard 50 µm graded index multimode fiber in terms of bandwidth and interconnectivity. Thus both can be spliced with the proposed design in the bending section.

Curvature loss formula for optical fibers

TL;DR: In this article, the curvature loss 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.

Derivation of coupled power equations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived coupled power equations from the coupled wave equations with the help of perturbation theory, where the coupling functions are random variables and the interaction between the modes can be described more easily by coupled power equation.
