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.

An optical transmission fiber comprises a central core having an index difference Δn1 with an outer optical cladding; a first inner cladding having an index difference Δn2 with the outer cladding; and a second buried inner cladding having an index difference Δn3 with the outer cladding of less than −3.10−3. The second buried inner cladding moreover contains Germaniumn in a weight concentration of between 0.5% and 7%. The fiber shows reduced bending and microbending losses whilst exhibiting the optical performances of a standard single-mode fiber (SSMF).

A multimode optical fiber includes a central core surrounded by an outer cladding. The central core has a graded-index profile with respect to the outer cladding and an outer radius r1 of between about 22 microns and 28 microns. The optical fiber also includes an inner cladding positioned between the central core and the outer cladding, and a depressed trench positioned between the inner cladding and the outer cladding. The multimode optical fiber exhibits reduced bending losses.

The present invention embraces an optical fiber that includes a central core having an alpha refractive index profile with respect to an outer optical cladding. The optical fiber also includes an inner cladding and a buried trench. The central core includes a core matrix doped with at least fluorine and a dopant element that increases refractive index. The optical fiber typically has reduced bending losses and cladding effect as well as a high bandwidth at the wavelengths of 850 nanometers and 1300 nanometers for high-data-rate applications.
摘要:
A multimode optical fiber includes a central core having a graded-index profile with a delta value of about 1.9 percent or greater. The graded-index core profile has at least two different alpha parameter values along the core radius, namely a first value in an inner zone of the central core and a second value in an outer zone of the central core. The second alpha parameter value is typically less than the first alpha parameter value. The graded-index core profile and its first derivative are typically substantially continuous over the width of the graded-index core.

摘要:
A multimode optical fiber includes a central core, an inner cladding, a buried trench, and an outer cladding (e.g., an outer optical cladding). Typically, the optical fiber's central core is a glass-based central core having an alpha-index profile (i.e., a graded-index profile), an outer radius r1, and a maximum refractive index difference Δn1 with respect to the outer cladding. The central core's alpha-index profile has a minimum refractive index at the central core's outer radius r1 that corresponds to a refractive index difference Δnend with respect to the outer cladding. The inner cladding has an outer radius r2, a width w2, and a refractive index difference Δn2 with respect to the outer cladding. The buried trench has an outer radius rext, a width w3, and a refractive index difference Δn3 with respect to the outer cladding. The multimode optical fiber typically has reduced bending losses, a high bandwidth at wavelengths of both 850 nanometers and 1300 nanometers, and a reduced cladding effect.

The present invention embraces an optical fiber that includes a central core having an alpha-index profile with respect to an outer cladding. The optical fiber also includes an inner cladding, a depressed trench, and an outer cladding. Typically, the alpha-index profile of the central core is interrupted at a point having a positive refractive index difference with respect to the outer cladding. The optical fiber achieves reduced bending losses and a high bandwidth with a reduced cladding effect for high-data-rate applications.
