摘要:
The invention relates to an chromatic dispersion-compensating optical fibre in the S-band, for use in compensating for the chromatic dispersion of either a standard SMF optical fibre or of an NZ-DSF optical fibre, carrying an optical signal in the spectral band in use, which is the S-band extending from 1460 nm to 1530 nm. The chromatic dispersion-compensating optical fibre in the S-band has a wavelength corresponding to the global chromatic dispersion minimum, which is situated outside the spectral band in use, that is to say outside the S-band.

A method for determining at least one parameter of a periodic spin function α(z) with period p, to be applied to an optical fiber along its length z during a drawing process. At least one parameter is selected so that (I) where ε1 is about 0.05 and y1 is the first of the three components y1(z), y2(z), y3(z) of a periodic function y(z) of period p such that (II) where LB is an expected beat length of said optical fiber and α(z) is the derivative of the spin function α(z) with respect to the length z. The method is effective for substantially reducing the PMD of optical fibers drawn when applying a spin function.

摘要:
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing low PMD single-mode fiber and a fiber manufactured by said method. The twisting system is mounted at the downstream side of a normal fiber-drawing tower. The manner of twisting does not change the fiber-drawing path, the axis of twisting wheels periodically swing in a plane which is parallel to the fiber-drawing direction. The fiber moving at high speed makes the outer surfaces of the twisting wheels to rotate round the axis of the fiber, when an angle between the plane in which the twisting wheels are located and the fiber-drawing direction exists, the component of the angular velocity in the radial direction of the fiber reacts on the fiber and makes the fiber to twist, and the twist propagates to the soften region of the glass material at the fiber-drawing upstream in the form of mechanical wave, a plastic deformation is produced and set up in the newly drawn fiber. The non-sinusoidal twist distribution of confused frequencies and amplitudes is introduced in the length direction of the fiber, and the energy coupling between the two orthogonal polarization modes is increased, the birefringence of said modes initiates PMD of the fiber. The PMD coefficient of the fiber manufactured by the method is less than 0.03 ps/km1/2.

An optical waveguide fiber that simultaneously exhibits large effective area and good resistance to bend induced attenuation, as measured by any of the tests known in the art. The cut off wavelength is controlled to allow single mode operation over a wavelength range that extends from about 1340 nm to 1650 nm. The optical waveguide fiber refractive index profile is simple in design allowing cost effective manufacture.

摘要:
A method for drawing an optical fiber having reduced polarization mode dispersion (PMD) draws an optical fiber from an optical fiber preform whose core ovality is at max about 3%, coats the optical fiber with acrylic polymer and twists the coated optical fiber with a pair of spinning wheels. The twisting of the fiber is achieved by four discrete spin rates that repeat in a periodic fashion after the drawing of certain lengths of the optical fiber. At least one of the spin rates varies in a trapezoidal manner along the respective one of drawn lengths of the optical fiber.

An optical cable for telecommunications having an optical core and a plurality of protecting and reinforcing elements or layers placed around the optical core. The optical core has a central reinforcing element, a polymer layer, a plurality of optical fibres incorporated in the polymer layer and a thin sheath which covers the polymer layer. The optical fibres have an alternating spin about their own axes with a maximum value of at least 4 twists per metre, and a core having a mean ellipticity in the range of 0.25 to 0.55, in such a way that the effects of birefringence of the fibres caused by the cabling process are significantly reduced.
