摘要:
A method for measuring a multimode optical fiber includes: monitoring a temperature change within a measurement time in a DMD measurement of the multimode optical fiber, where the DMD measurement is carried out in an environment in which a magnitude of temperature change is controlled.
摘要:
In an optical transmission path including multimode optical fibers, modal dispersion is reduced so that signal light can be transmitted at high speed and across a broad band, at low-cost and over a long distance. To reduce modal dispersion, when the transmission path is constructed by coupling a plurality of multimode optical fibers, a length ratio for the multimode optical fibers that obtains the maximum band of the optical transmission path is determined, and the multimode optical fibers are coupled according to this length ratio. The multimode optical fibers that are used have specific refractive index profiles as mode dispersion-compensating fibers. The compensated fiber and the mode dispersion-compensating fiber are coupled with specific lengths.

An optical fiber includes: a core at a center; a first cladding layer; a second cladding layer; and a third cladding layer. A maximum refractive index of the core is greater than any of maximum refractive indices of the first cladding layer, the second cladding layer, and the third cladding layer, and the maximum refractive index of the second cladding layer is smaller than any of the maximum refractive indices of the first and the third cladding layer. Additionally, a ratio of a2/a1 is not less than about 2.5 and not more than about 4.5, where a1 represents the radius of the core, and a2 represents the radius of an outer periphery of the first cladding layer, and a relative refractive index difference of the core with respect to a maximum refractive index of the third cladding layer is not less than 0.20% and not more than 0.70%.

A method of measuring polarization mode dispersion of an optical fiber includes inputting linearly polarized pulse light into an optical fiber, separating the input linearly polarized light from backscattered light from the optical fiber, detecting a light intensity of the backscattered light as time series data since the generation of the pulse light, calculating a fluctuation of the detected light intensity in the time series data, and evaluating polarization mode dispersion in the optical fiber, based on the calculated fluctuation value.
摘要:
Under condition that a non-circularity ratio is 5% or lower and a thermal expansion coefficient of a glass which forms the core is α1 and a thermal expansion of a glass which forms the cladding is α2, the difference of coefficients is controlled such that a formula −2.5×10−7/° C.≦α1 −α2≦1.0×10−7/° C. is satisfied so as to maintain a polarization mode dispersion to be 0.03 ps/km0.5 or lower. The difference of coefficients is further controlled such that a formula −1.5×10−7/° C.≦α1−α2≦0/° C. is satisfied so as to maintain a polarization mode dispersion to be 0.015 ps/km0.5 or lower. By doing this, birefringence is reduced by adjusting the thermal expansion coefficient in a core and a cladding; thus providing an optical fiber, and an optical transmission path using the optical fiber, having preferable PMD for high speed transmission.

摘要:
A single-mode optical fiber has a core and a cladding, and is produced in such a way that, when the radii of layers having individual refractive indexes are varied, more than one optical properties of the core, for example, the effective core area Aeff and the dispersion slope exhibit respective limiting values within a specific range of a reference radius. Such optical fibers provide basically the same optical properties but enable to vary the chromatic dispersion within a specific range so that the single-mode optical fiber is ideally suited for use in high-speed and large capacity communication systems.
