Abstract

A solution to the nonlinear problem of bending of an optical fiber interconnect is considered for the case when the interconnect experiences large deflections due to a significant lateral ends off-set. Thissolution can be helpful in the analysis and design of interconnects subjected to a significant ends off-set. It can be used also to assess the accuracy of the predictions, based on the linear approach.
