Optics InfoBase Conference PapersPreliminary work has shown that the bending losses of large-mode-area holey fibers can be improved by modifying the hole configuration (Mortensen et al. (2003)). For the first time, we accurately quantify the advantages of this technique.en© IEEEConference paper00200763862008032614505910.1109/OFC.2005.1927702-s2.0-337452718032-s2.0-848991044892-s2.0-8489914473044946
