Abstract
In this work the high power propagation in tight bent fibers was studied. The signal losses and the temperature increase have been experimental measured for single mode optical fibers (SMF) as function of the bending diameter. These results were used to propose an approach to limit the bending diameter, as a function of the injected power, in order to maintain the operational condition bellow the safety limit.
