摘要:
An optical fiber is formed by performing vapor phase deposition of SiO2 on the outside of a glass rod comprising a core section and a first cladding section and drawing a glass preform which formed by a second cladding section. Also, a single mode optical fiber is manufactured so that the ratio of the diameter D of the first cladding section and the diameter d of the core section is in a range of 4.0 to 4.8, and OH concentration is 0.1 ppm or less. Also, an optical fiber is manufactured so that a value of D/d>4.8, and the OH concentration is 0. 1 ppm or less. It is thereby possible to maintain an initial loss in the 1380 nm wavelength range even if hydrogen diffusion occurs.

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.

A single-mode optical fiber has a cut-off wavelength of 1260 nm or less, a zero-dispersion wavelength in the range of 1300 nm to 1324 nm, a zero-dispersion slope of 0.093 ps/nm2/km or less, a mode field diameter at a wavelength of 1310 nm in the range of 5.5 μm to 7.9 μm, and a bending loss of 0.5 dB or less at a wavelength of 1550 nm, the bending loss being produced when the fiber is wound around a 10-mm radius for 10 turns.

摘要:
A dispersion-shifted optical fiber is obtained that has a refractive index distribution shape comprising a center core portion of high refractive index, a step core portion of lower refractive index than the center core portion, provided about the outer circumference thereof, and clad of lower refractive index than the step core portion, provided about the outer circumference of the step core, in which, by suitably setting structural parameters, both Aeff expansion and dispersion slope reduction are satisfactorily effected, simultaneously, under conditions that the optical fiber is substantially single-mode, and bending loss is held down to 100 dB/m or lower.
