摘要:
The invention provides a fiber with continuously changing chromatic dispersion; it limits the quantity of dispersion-compensating fiber needed in a transmission system to compensate the cumulative chromatic dispersion in the line fiber. The fiber has a higher chromatic dispersion at a first end than at the other end, referred to as the second end. The chromatic dispersion varies along the fiber, decreasing over at least a portion of the fiber. At the first end the chromatic dispersion can be of the order of the dispersion of a conventional line fiber, i.e. close to 8 ps/(nm.km). At the second end the chromatic dispersion can have a value of the order of 4 ps/(nm.km). The fiber is used as the line fiber in a transmission system at the beginning of a section between two repeaters. The chromatic dispersion in the vicinity of the first end limits non-linear effects at the beginning of the section; the decrease of the chromatic dispersion in the fiber ensures that at its second end the fiber can be connected to a fiber having lower chromatic dispersion. The fiber can be produced with an index profile in the shape of a rectangle and a ring by varying only the indices, and not the radii.

An optical fiber for compensating chromatic dispersion of a positive chromatic dispersion optical fiber has at a wavelength of 1 550 nm a chromatic dispersion less than −40 ps/(nm.km), a ratio between the chromatic dispersion and the chromatic dispersion slope in the range from 50 nm to 230 nm, an effective area greater than or equal to 12 &mgr;m2 and curvature losses less than or equal to 0.05 dB. It is used for in-line compensation of cumulative chromatic dispersion in a positive chromatic dispersion line fiber. A fiber optic transmission system is also disclosed using a fiber of this kind to compensate the cumulative chromatic dispersion in the line fiber.

The invention proposes an optical fiber presenting a reference index profile having more than six steps. At a wavelength of 1550 nm it presents chromatic dispersion that is positive, and a ratio of the square of effective area over chromatic dispersion slope that is greater than 100,000 μm4.nm2.km/ps. The invention makes it possible to improve the propagation characteristics of prior art fibers by optimizing index profile. It can be implemented using conventional techniques for building up preforms by VAD or by MCVD.
摘要:
The invention provides a step index optical fiber which presents cladding having an index lower than the index of silica and a core with an index higher than the index of silica. The fiber is obtained by drawing a preform made by chemical vapor deposition using a deposition tube of index lower than the index of silica. Inner cladding of index substantially equal to the index of the deposition tube, and then a core of index higher than the index of the inner cladding are deposited in succession therein. The invention makes it possible to obtain a fiber having a large effective area, reduced attenuation, and suitable for being fabricated at low cost by chemical vapor deposition.

The invention also proposes optical fibers verifying the above criteria and suitable for compensating the chromatic dispersion of step index or dispersion shifted line fiber. The proposed criteria compensate chromatic dispersion and chromatic dispersion slope in wideband transmission systems, e.g. in C band and L band transmission systems, for wavelengths from 1530 to 1620 nm.
摘要:
A chromatic dispersion-compensating fiber adapted to compensate the chromatic dispersion of an SMF or an NZ-DSF having positive chromatic dispersion presents chromatic dispersion which is negative and greater than or equal to −150 ps/(nm.km) at a wavelength of 1550 nm, and a theoretical cutoff wavelength longer than 1800 nm. At 1550 nm, the fiber presents a ratio of chromatic dispersion over chromatic dispersion slope lying in the range 30 nm to 500 nm. The fiber can present a rectangle or a trapezium profile together with a buried trench and a ring. It can be used in a line or in a module to compensate the chromatic dispersion and the chromatic dispersion slope in transmission systems in which the line fiber is an SMF or an NZ-DSF having positive chromatic dispersion.
