bending_loss_db

ofiber.cylinder_step.bending_loss_db(n1, Delta, a, Rc, lambda0)[source]

Calculate the bending loss in dB/m.

This is a convenience method that works when a is an array.

Parameters:

  • a – core radius [m]

  • n1 – core index [-]

  • Delta – refractive index difference [-]

  • Rc – radius of curvature in [m]

  • lambda0 – wavelength in vacuum in [m]

Returns:

bending loss in dB/m [1/m]
