Abstract

The determination of the sensitivity of a single-mode optical fibre to microbending and macrobending is of great importance. Two kinds of spot-size rule such a sensitivity: w_n, the r.m.s. width of the near-field, and W_oo the inverse of the transverse propagation constant in the cladding. While measurement techniques for w_n are already known, this paper proposes an original method for w_oo measurements and concentrates on more plausible algorithms for macrobending and microbending loss determination from those measurements.
