摘要:
An optical fiber is fabricated with a refractive index profile having a central core; a middle part provided around the outer periphery of the central core and having a lower refractive index than that of the central core; and a cladding provided around the periphery of the middle part and having a higher refractive index than the middle part and a lower refractive index than the central core. This optical fiber has an effective core area of 120 μm2 or more in an employed wavelength band selected from the range of 1.53˜1.63 μm, and has a cut-off wavelength that is capable of substantially single mode propagation in the aforementioned employed wavelength band. As a result, it is possible to construct an optical transmission system having excellent transmission characteristics in which nonlinearity is decreased.

In a wavelength division multiplexed transmission path, the used waveband can be selected from the widest possible waveband among the S-band, C-band, and L-band. The wavelength division multiplexed transmission path has a dispersion-compensating transmission path comprising a dispersion-shifted fiber, which has positive chromatic dispersion throughout a range of wavelengths from 1460 nm to 1630 nm, and one type of dispersion-compensating fiber, or two or more types of dispersion-compensating fiber having different chromatic dispersion having negative chromatic dispersion in a compensation waveband, selected from the abovementioned range; the residual chromatic dispersion of the wavelength division multiplexed transmission path is adjusted so as to be greater than −1.0 ps/nm/km or equal to and less than or equal to +1.0 ps/nm/km in a used waveband of the wavelength division multiplexed transmission path, which is selected from the abovementioned range.
摘要:
The present invention's multimode optical fiber is characterized in that the propagating modes include a mode the lowest and second or higher order modes; and the difference between the propagation constants of the lowest order mode and the second order mode is 2-fold or more than the difference between the propagation constants of adjacent modes that are second order or higher order modes. Due to this design, single mode propagation becomes possible once the modes have propagated over a specific distance. As a result, it is possible to relax the conventional single mode conditions, enabling the fiber parameters to be set relatively freely.
