Abstract

Optical fiber is an advanced transmission medium composed of glass fibers, offering significantly higher data transfer speeds compared to conventional electrical cables. This study aims to analyze power loss resulting from bending in single-mode optical fibers (SMF) to assess the impact on optical signal quality. Five distinct SMF types were simulated using OptiFiber software at wavelengths of 1310 nm and 1550 nm, with bending radii varying from 20 – 46 mm in increments of 2 mm. The results demonstrate that power attenuation in optical fibers is affected by the wavelength of operation and bend radius. At a wavelength of 1310 nm, the highest material loss was recorded in SMF-28 at 0.0125 dB/km, whereas at 1550 nm, SMF-28 exhibited the highest material loss of 31.963 dB/km. Moreover, an increase in bending radius results in a reduction of bending losses, while a decrease in bending radius leads to a significant increase in losses. These insights contribute to the development of improved fiber optic cable designs by advocating the use of enhanced protective shielding to mitigate bending-induced signal degradation.

Abstract

The phenomenon of refractive index difference between two orthogonal polarization modes in optical fibers, plays as an important role in optics transmission systems and precision sensors. This study aims to analyze the effect of wavelength on the birefringence performance of five types of single-mode optical fibers, namely SMF-28, SMF-28e, SMF-28e+, SMF-28e+LL, and SMF-28 ULL. Simulations were performed using OptiFiber software with wavelengths varying from 1000 nm to 1550 nm. The results show that the birefringence value decreases significantly as the wavelength increases, in line with the propagation of the optical field into the sleeve which reduces the refractive index difference between the two orthogonal modes. The highest birefringence value was recorded for SMF-28e+ at 9.28 rad/m 1000 nm, while the lowest value was 5.79 rad/m 1550 nm. In addition, external effects such as fiber curvature showed a contribution to the change in birefringence, which is relevant for the design of precision optical systems. These findings confirm the importance of controlling wavelength parameters and geometric structure in optimizing fiber birefringence performance for polarization- based optical communication and sensor applications. Suggestions for further research is to evaluate the effect of temperature, external pressure, and voltage on birefringence in various other types of optics fibers.
