Abstract
Optical fiber profiles are shown in which the optical fiber has a large mode area, but is nevertheless sufficiently bend-insensitivity to comply with technical specifications for telecommunication optical fibers. The optical fibers meet two bend-loss conditions. First, they meet tight bend conditions, which reflects macro-bending due to coiling or bending of the optical fiber. Second, these optical fibers meet cable bend conditions, which reflect macro-bending conditions that are introduced as a result of cabling. By satisfying the tight bend-loss condition and then adjusting for the cable bend-loss condition, the optical fiber permits larger effective areas than normally achievable with only bend-compensation designs.
