title: Design of a trenched bend insensitive single mode optical fiber using spot size definitions.
abstract: We have designed a bend insensitive single mode optical fiber with a low-index trench using spot-size definitions and their optimization technique. The bending loss at a 5 mm of bending radius was negligible, while single mode properties were intact.
