    摘要: Disclosed is a dispersion compensating optical fiber that includes a core surrounded by a cladding layer of refractive index nCL. The core includes at least three radially adjacent regions, a central core region, a moat region having a refractive index nM that is sufficiently lower than nCL such that ΔM ≤ -0.4 %, and a ring region. As the ring region exhibits sufficiently high refractive index at a sufficiently long distance from the outer edge of the moat region, the fiber can exhibit low values of negative dispersion slope at low values of negative dispersion and yet exhibit good bending loss. This ring region is also capable of imparting to the fiber a relatively high cutoff wavelength, so that the present invention is particularly well suited for use in L-band systems. A particularly suitable fiber has an index profile in which that part of the ring region at the transition between the moat and the ring region has a refractive index such that its delta value is close to zero. Also disclosed is a method of forming the fiber of the present invention.

    摘要: The optical fiber alternates between regions having different dia meters along its length, wherein the refractive index and the diameters of said fiber result in alternating regions of positive and negative dispersion at a wavelength greater than 1480 nm, yet preferably has a low net dispersion and dispersion slope. A preferred profile consists of a core region surrounded by a cladding region, said core region comprising a central core region updoped with respect to said cladding region, said central core region surrounded by a moat region downdoped with respect to said cladding region, said moat region surrounded by an annular region updoped with respect to said cladding region. The family of profiles presented when used in conjunction with alternating positive and negative dispersion regions produce low dispersion slope fibers. The family of profiles is useful in conventional WDM applications.

    摘要: The present invention provides environmentally stable interferometric and lattice devices that exhibit low excess loss and polarization dependent loss. The modal noise at the splices between the device pigtails and the system fiber is minimized or eliminated. The present invention is an optical device (10) for filtering a light signal. The optical device (10) has a tunable spectral response. The optical device includes a first optical fiber (25) having a first core region (30) and a cladding (34) with refractive index n2. The first core region (30) includes a core (32) having refractive index n1 and a first fiber coupling regulator (300) integral with the first optical fiber (25). The first fiber coupling regulator (300) couples the light signal between a first optical path and second optical path and substantially prevents the light signals from coupling into a third optical path.

    摘要: Disclosed is a single mode optical waveguide fiber having a segmented core design. The core may have two or more segments. The highest refractive index portion (41) of the core is spaced apart from the centerline of the waveguide fiber. The relative index of the first or center segment (21) of the core is negative, where the reference refractive index is taken to be the minimum index clad. This family of core profiles provides effective areas in the range of 110 νm2 to 150 νm2 in the operating window around 1550 nm. Dashed lines (6) show alternative shapes for the index profiles (2 and 4). The negative relative index annular region illustrated by dashed line (5) shows the optional third core region having a negative relative index, using the minimum clad index as the reference index.

    摘要: Overclad fiber optic couplers are made by inserting the uncoated portions of a plurality of optical fibers into the bore (14) of a glass tube, collapsing the tube midregion (15) onto the fibers and stretching the central portion of the tube midregion. The present method utilizes a glass tube (10) the bore of which includes a circular portion and a recess. A plurality of optical fibers (21, 22) are sequentially inserted into the tube by threading the coated end into the circular bore portion until the uncoated portion of fiber (23, 24) is centered in the tube. The uncoated portion of fiber is then transferred laterally into the bore (14) recess. After all fibers have been threaded into the circular bore portion and transferred to the recess, a filler fiber (28) is inserted into the circular bore portion. The resultant coupler exhibits low excess loss.

    摘要: An optical-fiber-based light source that generates light via third-harmonic (TH) generation is disclosed. The light source includes a pump light source that provides pump light having a fundamental mode of wavelength λp. The light source also includes an optical fiber optically coupled to the pump light source. The optical fiber's core refractive index profile has (i) a central region with a refractive index value Δ1, (ii) a first annular region immediately surrounding the central region and having a refractive index value Δ2, and (iii) a second annular region immediately surrounding the first annular region and having a refractive index value Δ3. The optical fiber satisfies the conditions Δ2 1.2%. The pump light produces TH-generated light having a higher-order mode of wavelength λTH = (1/3) λρ and that is outputted at the optical fiber output end. The pump light fundamental mode overlaps the TH-generated-light higher order mode over the length of the optical fiber to provide a conversion efficiency of 1% or greater.
