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.

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, cable, cord, and a method for ensuring a service life of the fiber are provided. The fiber has a core and a cladding, the fiber having a cut-off wavelength that exhibits a single-mode transmission in a 1.31 μm wavelength band. A relative refractive index difference of the core with respect to the cladding is adjusted such that a bending loss, when a bend is applied in a radius smaller than a limit bending radius of the fiber, becomes greater than a detection limit value. The limit bending radius is calculated from a relationship between a bending radius applied to the optical fiber and a failure probability which occurs after a time period. The method includes measuring a loss and ensuring that a failure probability of the fiber during a service life falls within a failure probability used for setting the limit bending radius.
