    Abstract: A single-mode fiber with low loss and low bend loss is disclosed. The fiber is single mode and has a central core (10), an inner cladding (20) and an outer cladding (30). The central core (10) has a radius r1 and relative refractive index with a maximum value of Δ1max and a core alpha greater than 1 and less than 10, and a Ge02 dopant concentration of greater than 1 wt. % and less than or equal to 5 wt. %. The inner cladding (20) has an outer radius r2>9 micrometers and a relative refractive index Δ2 where Δ2 is less then −0.15%. The outer cladding (30) has a refractive index Δ3, wherein Δ1>Δ3>Δ2. The difference Δ3−Δ2>0.005%. The inner cladding includes fluorine having a concentration of greater than or equal to 0.5 wt. % and the outer cladding is updoped with respect to inner cladding.

    Abstract: An optical fiber having both low macrobend loss and low microbend loss. The fiber has a central core region, a first (inner) cladding region surrounding the central core region and having an outer radius r2>16 microns and relative refractive index Δ2, and a second (outer) cladding region surrounding the first cladding region having relative refractive index, Δ3, wherein Δ1>Δ3>Δ2. The difference between Δ3 and Δ2 is greater than 0.12 percent. The fiber exhibits a 22 m cable cutoff less than or equal to 1260 nm, and r1/r2 is greater or equal to 0.24 and bend loss at 1550 nm for a 15 mm diameter mandrel of less than 0.5 dB/turn.
