Bending loss peak is observed in the transmission spectrum of a solid core photonic crystal fiber. The loss peak is shifted from shorter wavelength to longer wavelength when the bending radius is decreased. These results are explained by a numerical calculation. They agree well with each other. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 50: 1178–1180, 2008; Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com).
