  • Abstract
    A simple model is set up yielding the power spectrum of the microbendings in single-mode optical fibres. The model rests on an assumption of random short curvatures of the fibre axis. Employing the effective spot size instead of the RMS spot size we achieved good agreement with experimental data.
