U.S. Patent No. 9,594,211, “Method of fabrication of low-bend-loss single mode fibers of very large mode areas," has been issued to Ravinder Jain by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO).
Abstract: The present invention provides an optical fiber and method of making the same. The optical fiber includes a body for transmitting light. The body has an anisotropic refractive index wherein the anisotropic refractive index offsets changes in the refractive index of the fiber caused by bending the fiber. The fiber body may further include a core and cladding.
