    摘要: A system and method is disclosed for manufacturing single mode optical fiber which incorporates a spin in the molten fiber during manufacturing. The introduction of spin minimizes a form of distortion called polarization mode dispersion (PMD) and varying the spin, i.e. changing its characteristics, is known to further reduce PMD. However, introducing spin on a molten fiber may result in also introducing twist on the fiber. Twist is a non-permanent rotational force on the cooled fiber which causes stress and is to be avoided. A spin function is disclosed that not only contains a high degree of variability for reducing PMD, but also ensures that mechanical twist on the fiber is minimized, thus reducing stress on the fiber. The spin function modulates either the amplitude, frequency, or both, at the beginning of a cycle to minimize twist on the fiber.

    摘要: An improved optical fiber design has been found to exhibit a relatively low attenuation at the wavelength of 1385 nm (the “water peak”), allowing for Raman amplification to be efficient and effective at wavelengths in the S-band range of 1460 to 1530 nm. An ultra-dry process is used to mate an inner core rod (core plus surrounding trench) with a cladding tube (ring region plus cladding layers) and provide a water peak loss on the order of 0.325 dB/km. The low water peak is combined with appropriate dispersion values and zero dispersion wavelength to form a fiber that supports transmission and Raman amplification in the S-, C- and L-bands of interest for optical transmission systems.

    摘要: A laser cleaving apparatus for use in terminating optical fiber cable ends has a laser beam source, the output of which is directed through a beam distorting member, which produces a beam having a chisel shape with a substantially flat side normal to the axis of a connector fiber containing ferrule and focuses it onto the fiber at a point adjacent the ferrule end face with the flat side also adjacent the end face. A single step polishing stage polishes the cleaved fiber end face to make it flat and flush with the ferrule end face.

    摘要: Optical fiber designs are depicted with a core having an alpha profile inner portion and a steep vertical step between the core and a cladding with no shoulder, referred to herein as a truncated core. A further aspect of this invention can include a trench between the truncated core and cladding. In this embodiment, the core performs as not only as the primary light guiding structure, but now also functions essentially the same as that of a trench structure. Thus, what was formally a trench can now be much less negative or even positive.Another embodiment of the present invention includes an optical fiber having a truncated core with the addition of a ledge or shoulder between the core and vertical step, followed directly by a cladding.

    摘要: An optical fiber ferrule has a plurality of guide holes therein for guiding a respective plurality of flat-sided fibers at an end of a multifiber optical fiber cable. The fibers' flat sides identify a particular rotational orientation of the fiber. Rotational alignment is achieved by urging the fibers' flat sides against a corresponding reference surface within the ferrule or within an alignment fixture. Also described is a fiber array block having a plurality of V-shaped grooves extending across an outer surface and terminating at an endface. The V-shaped grooves are shaped to guide a respective plurality of flat-sided fibers. A lid is installable across the plurality of V-shaped grooves, over fibers that have been loaded therein.
