I need to bend single-mode fiber and see how light comes out of the fiber depending on the bending angle

Hi Vladislav,


You can't do this with OpticStudio. You'd need a beam propagation code like Lumerical makes (I forget the name of the specific code, sorry). Single-mode fibers are really waveguides not lightpipes and are not well described by ray tracing.
