Abstract:
A multimode optical fiber (10) having a first laser bandwidth greater than 220MHz.km in the 850nm window, a second laser bandwidth greater than 500MHz.km in the 850nm window, and a second OFL bandwidth of at least 500MHz.km in the 300nm window is disclosed. The multimode fiber is capable of operating telecommunication systems employing both LED power sources and high power laser sources. Method of making and testing the multimode optical fiber are also disclosed.
