Abstract

Sinusoidal microbending losses of the HE11-mode in step-index fibres are compared by using a perturbation solution of electromagnetic wave scattering theory. The HE11-mode in a multi-mode step-index fibre is found to suffer much higher bending loss than that in a single-mode step-index fibre, except that in nearly perpendicular directions and in the perpendicular direction with respect to the fibre axis the HE11-mode in the single-mode step-index fibre shows some higher bending loss than that in the multimode step-index fibre.
