摘要:
A depressed graded-index multimode optical fiber includes a central core, an inner depressed cladding, a depressed trench, an outer depressed cladding, and an outer cladding. The central core has an alpha-index profile. The depressed claddings limit the impact of leaky modes on optical-fiber performance characteristics (e.g., bandwidth, core size, and/or numerical aperture).
摘要:
A method of assessing the power penalty at a given bit error rate of a multimode fiber including measuring a set of elementary fiber responses corresponding to different offset launches of light over the core radius into the multimode fiber, generating a global fiber response by applying, to the set of elementary fiber responses, a set of weighting coefficients and delays depending on the different offset launches of the elementary fiber responses, and computing a parameter representative of a fiber power penalty from the global fiber response, wherein the set of weighting coefficients includes several subsets of weighting coefficients time delayed relative to one another, wherein at least one relative time delay is not set to zero, and wherein weighting coefficients of each subset depend on the different offset launches of the elementary fiber responses.

摘要:
A single-mode optical fiber includes a central core surrounded by an outer optical cladding. The optical fiber includes an inner depressed cladding, a ring, and an outer depressed cladding positioned between the central core and the outer optical cladding. The central core typically has a refractive-index difference (Dn1) with the outer optical cladding of between about −0.5×10−3 and 0.5×10−3. The ring typically has an inner radius (rring1) of between about 21 microns and 35 microns and a refractive-index difference with the outer optical cladding (Dnring) of between about −0.5×10−3 and 0.5×10−3. The outer depressed cladding typically has a volume (Vout) of between about 15 μm2 and 30 μm2. The ratio of the volume of the central core over the width of the ring (Vcore/wring) is typically between about 0.12 micron and 0.2 micron.

A single-mode optical fiber includes a central core, an intermediate cladding, a depressed trench, and an external optical cladding. The central core has a radius r1 and a positive refractive index difference Δn1 with the optical cladding. The intermediate cladding has a radius r2 and a refractive index difference Δn2 with the optical cladding, wherein Δn2 is less than Δn1. The depressed trench has a radius r3 and a negative index difference Δn3 with the optical cladding. At a wavelength of 1310 nanometers, the optical fiber has a mode field diameter (MFD) between 8.6 microns and 9.5 microns and, at a wavelength of 1550 nanometers, the optical fiber has bending losses less than about 0.25×10−3 dB/turn for a radius of curvature of 15 millimeters. At a wavelength of 1260 nanometers, attenuation of the LP11 mode to 19.3 dB is achieved over less than 90 meters of fiber.

A chromatic dispersion compensating and dispersion slope compensating optical fiber comprises a central core having an index difference Δn1 with an outer optical cladding, a first buried inner cladding having an index difference Δn2 with the outer cladding, a ring having an index difference Δn3 with the outer cladding and a second buried inner cladding having an index difference Δn4 with the outer cladding. The index difference between the first buried inner cladding and the outer cladding Δn2 is less than or equal to −13.5.10−3 and the index difference between the second buried inner cladding and the outer cladding Δn4 is less than or equal to −3.10−3. The fiber has, for a wavelength of 1550 nm, a chromatic dispersion less than or equal to −50 ps/nm/km and a ratio of the chromatic dispersion over the chromatic dispersion slope DOS less than or equal to 70 nm. The second deeply buried inner cladding allows obtaining a low DOS value whilst maintaining acceptable optical characteristics.

Disclosed is a chromatic dispersion compensating optical fiber comprising a central core, an intermediate cladding having a width (r2−r1) of 2.0 microns or greater, and a depressed inner cladding having a refractive index difference Dn3 with the external optical cladding of −3.0×10−3 or lower. At a wavelength of 1550 nm, the optical fiber exhibits a positive chromatic dispersion of 21 ps/(nm·km) or higher and a ratio of mode radius to intermediate cladding radius of (W02/r2) of 0.7 or less. The present optical fiber has a good figure of merit value and limited bending and microbending losses. The optical fiber can be rolled up in a housing of reduced size in a chromatic dispersion compensating optical module having limited insertion losses and reduced polarization mode dispersion.
