J. Baldauf et al., RELATIONSHIP OF MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF DUAL COATED SINGLE-MODEOPTICAL FIBERS AND MICROBENDING LOSS, IEICE transactions on communications, E76B(4), 1993, pp. 352-357
This report will present an expression for the mechanical behavior of
a drum-wound dual coated fiber and an analytical expression for the mi
crobending loss in single mode dual coated fibers. These analytical ex
pressions are then compared with experimental drumwinding microbending
loss results to determine their validity.
