    摘要: Embodiments of the invention include an optical communications system including a multimode optical fiber having improved overfill-launch bandwidth performance without disturbing existing laser-launch bandwidth performance. The multimode optical fiber has a characteristic differential mode delay with a first portion associated with lower order modes that behaves conventionally and a second portion associated with higher order modes that deviates from conventional behavior in a way that improves overfill-launch bandwidth performance at one operating window without adversely impacting the laser-launch bandwidth performance at the same and other operating windows. Multimode optical fibers conventionally optimized for operation at 850 nm are configured in such a way that their characteristic differential mode delay, at 1300 nm, initially increases in a conventional manner and then flattens out to approximately zero at the higher order modes. At 850 nm, the characteristic differential mode delay initially remains flat at approximately zero, in a conventional manner, and then decreases at the higher order modes. Also, embodiments of the invention include an inventive optical fiber preform configured appropriately to produce the desired differential mode delay, and a method for making the inventive optical fiber preform.

    摘要: An optical fiber preform includes: a columnar portion having an approximately constant radius of r; and a taper portion located adjacent to the columnar portion in a lengthwise direction and having a radius decreasing along the lengthwise direction. The taper portion includes: a first taper portion including a portion having a radius varying between 0.9r and 0.6r; and a second taper portion including a portion having a radius varying between 0.4r and 0.15r. A diameter of the first taper portion in the portion having the radius varying between 0.9r and 0.6r decreases so as to form a maximum angle θ1 between 40 degrees and 60 degrees with respect to the columnar portion, a diameter of the second taper portion in the portion having the radius varying between 0.4r and 0.15r decreases so as to form an average angle θ2 between 5 degrees and 30 degrees with respect to a central axis in the lengthwise direction, and a volume of the taper portion is smaller than or equal to 45% of a volume of a column having a same outer diameter as a maximum outer diameter of the taper portion and having a same length as the taper portion.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing a glass preform from a metal sulfide chalcogenide glass to which a large amount of light emitting substances can be added includes steps of etching a surface made of the chalcogenide glass or oxychalcogenide glass of disc shape core and clad forming glass starting materials by an etchant including an acid and a compound reacting with a hydrogen chalcogenide, and forming the core forming glass starting material and the clad forming glass starting material into a united body serving as a glass preform. In a method for manufacturing a single-mode glass fiber using a preform method by drawing the glass preform whose outer round surface is made of a chalcogenide glass or oxychalcogenide glass, the outer round surface of the glass preform is etched using an etchant including an acid and a compound reacting with a hydrogen chalcogenide and then drawn into the glass fiber. In another method for manufacturing a glass fiber by drawing a rod-in-tube in which an outer round surface of the rod and inner and outer round surfaces of the tube are made of a chalcogenide glass or oxychalcogenide glass, the round surfaces made of the chalcogenide glass or oxychalcogenide glass are etched by the etchant including an acid and a compound reacting with a hydrogen chalcogenide and then drawn into the glass fiber.
