title: Approximate formulas for the microbending loss in single-mode fibers.
abstract: Some approximate formulas for calculating the microbending loss for single-mode fibers are given. The formulas are rather simple, yield good approximate values, and hence can be used to evaluate the microbending loss in fiber design.
