Distinguishing Transition and Pure Bend Losses in Holey Fibers

Abstract

Holey fiber technology provides an alternative route towards large mode areas,1 offering broadband single-moded guidance as well as a simple way of manufacturing such fibers for use at visible wavelengths. The largest practical mode size is determined by macroscopic bending losses: both conventional and holey fibers exhibit a long wavelength bend loss edge, whereas holey fibers possess an additional loss edge at wavelengths that are short relative to the hole spacing.1 Although standard telecommunications wavelengths fall on the short wavelength loss edge for large mode holey fibers,2 these fibers possess comparable bending losses to similarly sized conventional fibers at this wavelength.3
