Abstract
A new simulation method for optical pulse distortion in macro-bends of single-mode optical fiber with coating layer is presented. The pulse distortion in macro-bends of standard single mode fibers are investigated theoretically, showing that the pulse distortion in macro-bends can make bit errors for optical communication systems with high bit rate. The simulation technique is validated by comparison with exact solution for macro-bend losses of standard single mode fiber.

Determination of bend mode characteristics in dielectric waveguides

TL;DR: In this paper, a new and effective method for the electromagnetic analysis of bend dielectric waveguides is presented, based on the expansion of the bend mode in modes of the straight waveguide and permits determination of the shape and the phase constant of the fundamental mode of the bending waveguide with great accuracy at a very low computational cost.
