    摘要: The dispersion-compensating fiber according to the present invention is an optical fiber having a structure which, when constituting an optical transmission line together with a dispersion-shifted fiber, whose zero-dispersion wavelength is in a 1.5-&mgr;m wavelength band, for guiding light signals in the 1.5-&mgr;m wavelength band or 1.6-&mgr;m wavelength band, is capable of improving transmission characteristics of the whole optical transmission line and allowing the dispersion to be compensated for efficiently and the size thereof to become smaller; and has a structure for improving the total dispersion slope of the optical transmission line while in a state fully compensating for the dispersion of the dispersion-shifted fiber. This dispersion-compensating fiber has a triple cladding structure having a first cladding, a second cladding, and a third cladding which are successively provided on the outer periphery of a core; and, in a state where the relative refractive index differences in the regions and outside diameters thereof are optimized so as to compensate for the dispersion-shifted fiber, realizes an optical transmission system having a favorable total dispersion slope.

    摘要: A method of splicing optical fibers is provided to reduce the splicing loss of the first and second optical fibers having different MFDs from each other. In a pre-fusion heating step, the MFD at the adjacent end face of the optical fiber having larger MFD is enlarged by heating a portion including the adjacent end face thereof so as to diffuse a dopant. After the pre-fusion heating step, fusion-splicing of the first and the second optical fibers is performed. Thereafter, during the post-fusion heating step, the dopant is diffused by heating a portion including the fusion-spliced part between the first and the second optical fibers.
