Simple formulae are given for the field displacement caused by bending, the change in mode volume and for the mode coupling loss which arises at transitions between straight and curved sections of single-mode optical fibre. These formulae are in good agreement with other, more exact, theories.

Inspec keywords: optical fibres; optical waveguide theory

Other keywords: curved single mode fibre; mode coupling loss; field deformation; mode volume; bending

Subjects: Optical waveguides and couplers; Fibre optics; Fibre optics and fibre waveguides
