Near zero bending loss in a double-trenched bend insensitive optical fiber at 1550 nm.
We have developed a new single-mode optical fiber (SMF) which exhibits ultra low bend sensitivity over a wide communication band. The measured mean bending loss at 1550 nm was about 0.0095 dB for a loop of 10 mm diameter.
