摘要:
Provided is a coated optical fiber and an optical fiber cable capable of suppressing transmission loss (microbend loss) even in an optical fiber having high microbend sensitivity. In the present invention, the degree of freedom of a primary layer 11 represented by the equation (I) and the rigidity of a secondary layer 12 represented by the equation (II) are set in specific ranges, respectively. Thus, the present invention provides a coated optical fiber 1 capable of suppressing the transmission loss even when an optical fiber 10 having high microbend sensitivity such as a BI fiber having a large effective core cross-sectional area A eff of an optical fiber is used. The present invention can be widely used as a coated optical fiber 1 constituting a coated optical fiber ribbon or as a coated optical fiber 1 housed in an optical fiber cable. Further, an optical fiber cable including such coated optical fibers 1 enjoys the effect of the above-described coated optical fiber 1. [Math. 1] β P × P ISM ≥ 600 S / P × S ISM / P ISM ≤ 1,000
摘要:
An optical processing structure of an optical fiber includes: an optical fiber that includes a core, a cladding, and a coating, the coating being partially removed; a thermally conductive protective material made of a silicone-based thermally conductive compound and provided around the cladding in a coating removed region of the optical fiber; and a thermally conductive base material on which the optical fiber is placed. The thermally conductive protective material contains a filler having a refractive index higher than that of the cladding. The filler is present in a region where evanescent light seeping out of the cladding is present when cladding mode light propagating in the cladding is totally reflected.
