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.

摘要:
By limiting the ranges of the numerical values of a plurality of structural parameters of a dispersion compensating optical fiber which is endowed with a segmented W-shaped refractive index profile, and by suitably combining these structural parameters, it is possible to obtain a dispersion compensating optical fiber which can compensate both for chromatic dispersion and also for dispersion slope of a single mode optical fiber for transmission over a wide wavelength band which is selected from the range from 1.53 &mgr;m to 1.63 &mgr;m, and for which the value of Aeff is large, and moreover the absolute value of chromatic dispersion is large. As a result desirable transmission characteristics are obtained by being able to suppress the occurrence of nonlinearity effects, and furthermore, since the length which is required is short, the cost is low, and it is possible to produce a module which is small in size.
