Abstract: Methods of forming a bandwidth-tuned optical fiber for short-length data transmission systems include establishing a relationship between a change Δτ in a modal delay τ, a change ΔT in a draw tension T and a change Δλ in a BM wavelength λ of light in a BM wavelength range from 840 nm and 1100 nm for a test optical fiber drawn from a preform and that supports BM operation at the BM wavelength. The methods also include drawing from either the preform or a closely related preform the bandwidth-tuned optical fiber by setting the draw tension based on the established relationships of the aforementioned parameters so that the bandwidth-tuned optical fiber has a target bandwidth greater than 2 GHz·km at a target wavelength within the BM wavelength range.

Abstract: An optical fiber with low attenuation and methods of making same are disclosed. The optical fiber has a core, an inner cladding surround the core, and an outer cladding surrounding the inner cladding. The outer cladding is chlorine-doped such that the relative refractive index varies as a function of radius. The radially varying relative refractive index profile of the outer cladding reduces excess stress in the core and inner cladding, which helps lower fiber attenuation while also reducing macrobend and microbend loss. A process of fabricating the optical fiber includes doping an overclad soot layer of a soot preform with chlorine and then removing a portion of the chlorine dopant from an outermost region of the overclad soot layer. The soot preform with the modified chlorine dopant profile is then sintered to form a glass preform, which can then be used for drawing the optical fiber.

Abstract: An optical fiber includes a core portion having a radius rC and a graded refractive index profile ΔC having an alpha value greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 8. The core portion includes a silica-based glass and a down-dopant, where a concentration of the down-dopant is graded such that the concentration of the down-dopant decreases from the radius rC towards the center of the core portion. The optical fiber comprises a cladding portion surrounding the core portion and having a relative refractive index ΔOC that is less than a maximum refractive index ΔCmax of the core portion.

Abstract: The single mode optical fiber disclosed herein has a core, an inner cladding, a trench and an outer cladding, along with a non-glass protective coating. The refractive index profile of the optical fiber is such that the optical fiber has relatively low bend loss at both small and large bend diameters. The relative refractive indices of the inner cladding, trench and outer cladding are such that a tunneling point that arises during bending is pushed out beyond the trench and thus sufficiently far away from the core so that bending losses for both small and large radius bends are relatively small.
