Summary :

Theoretical and experimental studies on power flow in a bent step index fiber are made. Theoretical study is made on a slab model under the condition that mode conversion occurs at joints between straight parts and bent parts of a fiber. It is assumed that the propagation angle deviation by mode conversion depends both on the propagation angle and the curvature radius of the bent part. The power flow equation in a partially bent fiber is derived and solved generally by series expansion. Theoretical mode power distributions at different propagation lengths are compared with the experimental results and they are in good agreement with each other. The mode power distribution expressed by the first term of the series, which is considered to be the theoretical steady state mode power distribution, is observed experimentally.
