    摘要: Applicants have discovered the existence of loss peaks in optical fiber transmission systems using wavelengths in the E-band and the L-band. Specifically, they have discovered the existence of narrow loss peaks at 1440 nm, 1583 nm and 1614 nm. Because the peaks are relatively narrow, they cannot be easily removed by conventional gain equalizers in long haul transmission systems, and although the peaks are relatively small, they can nonetheless cause transmission channels to drop out in amplified DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) transmission systems. Applicants have further discovered that these loss peaks are due to carbon contamination of the transmission fiber. Thus optical fibers should be fabricated essentially free of carbon contamination. This means eliminating carbon-containing reagents in preform and tube-making processes. By the term carbon-free is preferably meant

    摘要: Disclosed is a dispersion-compensating (DC) module [740] comprising a first length of DC optical fiber [10] in tandem with a second length of a standard singlemode optical fiber. The DC fiber is fabricated from silica glass and has a refractive index profile that includes a core region [51] surrounded by a cladding region [52] having a nominal refractive index n 4 . The core region includes a central core [511] having a nominal refractive index n 1 , a "trench" [512] surrounding the central core having a nominal refractive index n 2 , and a "ridge" [513] surrounding the trench having a nominal refractive index n 3 . A range of refractive index profiles has been found that provides relative dispersion slopes (RDS) that are greater than 0.012 nm -1 and figures of merit that are greater than 200 ps/(nm-dB).
