Title: Numerical simulation of a fiber laser bending sensitivity

Abstract: Numerical simulation analysis of fiber optic bending sensitivity aiming to improve fiber lasers design is developed, analyzing both the transition loss, associated with abrupt curvature change at the beginning and the end of a bend, and pure bending loss associated with the loss from the constant curvature bending in between.
