Low-Loss Large-MFD Fibers with G.657.A2 Compliant Macro Bending Performance

Bend-insensitive fibers corresponding ITU-T G.657.A2 category were realized keeping low attenuation loss of $\simeq 0.18$ dB/km and large MFD of ~9 μm at 1310 nm. We also confirmed other properties also meet G.657 requirements. © 2021 The Authors
