Abstract:
Behavior of the step-index (SI) polymethylmetacrylate (PMMA) plastic optical fibers (POFs) is examined in a straight-curved configuration for various launching conditions and fiber curvature. This was achieved by applying the power flow equation to calculate the power distribution at the end of the straight fiber segment that precedes the curved one, allowing calculation of the power loss for the latter. We have verified our procedure on curved plastic optical fiber used frequently in the power delivery and sensory systems.

Key words:
