Bend loss calculation in single-mode graded-index fibers using variational fields

TL;DR: In this article, the bend loss for single-mode graded-index fibers was computed using the fundamental modal field (MODF) and the variational field (VF) for the single and two parameter scalar variational approximations.

A study of the propagation characteristics of W-type single-mode fibers using variational fields of single-clad single-mode fibers

TL;DR: A number of single and two-parameter scalar variational fields approximating the fundamental mode of single-clad fibers are available in the literature as mentioned in this paper, and the present work aims at checking if these fields can also explain the propagation characteristics of W-type or double-clad single mode fibers with similar accuracies.
