Abstract
The loss induced in optical fibers by random bends in the fiber axis is studied by winding fibers under constant tension onto a drum surface that is not perfectly smooth. The tension forces the fibers to conform to slight surface irregularities, whic...This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
