First areas covered with the ribbon matrix 51 and second areas uncovered with the ribbon matrix alternate with each other along the longitudinal direction thereof. Alternatively, the optical fiber ribbon 1 is covered with the ribbon matrix over its entire length. In the glass section of each optical fibers, the mode field diameter defined by the definition of Petermann-I at a wavelength of 1.55 μm is 8 μm or less, and the cable cutoff wavelength is 1.26 μm or less.
摘要:
The present invention provides an optical fiber and the like comprising a structure making it possible to realize optical communications with a higher speed and a larger capacity as compared with conventional optical transmission systems. The optical fiber according to the present invention is an optical fiber in which at least one first portion having a positive chromatic dispersion at a predetermined wavelength within a wavelength band in use and at least one second portion having a negative chromatic dispersion at the predetermined wavelength are arranged adjacent each other along the longitudinal direction thereof. In particular, the optical fiber comprises a polarization coupling structure for inducing coupling between polarization modes of propagating light. This polarization coupling structure randomly causes coupling between polarization modes of the propagating light, whereby polarization mode dispersion decreases at the predetermined wavelength. As a consequence, transmission characteristics are effectively restrained from deteriorating due to polarization mode dispersion. Specifically, the polarization coupling structure is a twist applied to the optical fiber.

A plurality of optical fibers are arranged in parallel and peripheries of the plurality of these optical fibers are integrally formed using a sheath. Here, the sheath is formed over the entire length of optical fiber ribbons and a flat portion of the sheath is formed substantially parallel to a common tangent of the neighboring optical fibers. A maximum value of a thickness of the optical fiber ribbons is set to a value which is larger than an outer diameter of the optical fibers by 40 μm or less. Due to such a constitution, it is possible to easily branch the optical fibers from the integrally formed optical fiber ribbons.

A multiple fiber optical cable includes bundled plural optical fibers. In each of the optical fibers to be bundled in the optical cable, a positive dispersion section having a positive chromatic dispersion in an optical signal wavelength and a negative dispersion section having a negative chromatic wavelength and a negative dispersion section having a negative chromatic dispersion section in the optical signal wavelength are alternately arranged so that the chromatic dispersion characteristic of the optical fiber alternately changes in the longitudinal direction. The chromatic dispersion characteristics of the respective bundled plural optical fibers coincide with each other at at least the position of each end of the multiple fiber optical cable. The member which surrounds the optical fibers of the optical cable is provided with the identification marks for identifying the chromatic dispersion characteristics at the individual locations in the longitudinal direction.
