Abstract :
A study has been made of temperature induced losses in single-mode fibers with a loose jelly-filled jacket. It has been found that at low temperatures where the fiber has to buckle to fit into the tube, the losses have the character of macrobend losses. At high temperatures where the fiber is pressed against the tube wall, the losses are of the microbending type.
