    Abstract: Described is a method of fabricating an optical fiber preform that includes a deep index trench comprising a shallower outer trench portion formed on a substrate tube and a deeper inner trench portion formed on the shallower outer trench portion. Each of the shallower outer trench and deeper inner trench portions comprises multiple silica layers. The method comprises the steps of: (1) forming each layer of the shallower outer trench portion in a single-pass deposition of a F-containing silica layer; and (2) forming each layer of the deeper inner portion in a double-pass deposition in which, in a first pass, a layer of silica soot is deposited and then, in a second pass, the soot is sintered in the presence of SiF4.

    Abstract: An optical transmission fiber is formed to include a relatively low-index, relatively thin outer cladding layer disposed underneath the protective polymer outer coating. Stray light propagating along an inner cladding layer(s) within the fiber will be refracted into the thin outer cladding (by proper selection of refractive index values). The thin dimension of the outer cladding layer allows for the stray light to “leak” into the outer coating in a controlled, gradual manner so as to minimize heating of the coating associated with the presence of stray light. The inventive fiber may also be bent to assist in the movement of stray light into the coating.

    Abstract: Dual concentric core fiber is used for optical communication. Inbound messages lying in a first wavelength channel are received from a terminal portion of the fiber, and outbound messages lying in a second such channel are injected into the terminal portion. The optical fiber has at least one annular portion surrounding a central core portion. The inbound messages are received from the annular portion, and the outbound messages are injected into the central core portion. Alternatively, the inbound messages are received from the central core portion, and the outbound messages are injected into the annular portion.

    Abstract: Optical fiber according to the invention comprises a core, with an inner cladding surrounding the core, and an outer cladding surrounding the inner one. The fiber comprises preform-derived glass. The outer cladding comprises a first outer cladding region between the inner cladding region and a second outer cladding region. The first outer cladding region is selected to have an effective refractive index less than 1.35, and such that the optical characteristics of the optical fiber are essentially independent of the second outer cladding, and/or such that the fiber is re-coat insensitive. The first outer cladding typically comprises elongate features extending in the fiber axial direction, with a web material joining the inner cladding to the second outer cladding. The elongate features are filled with a low-index material, exemplarily air, but could of course be evacuated. Fibers according to the invention have many uses, e.g., cladding-pumped optical fiber or fiber with a long period grating.

    Abstract: An optical fiber that is relatively insensitive to bend loss and alleviates the problem of catastrophic bend loss configured to support and guide the propagation of light in a fundamental transverse mode. The cladding region includes an outer cladding region, a pedestal region, an inner trench region, and an outer trench region. The pedestal region and the outer cladding region each have a refractive index relatively close to that of the outer cladding region. To suppress HOMs the pedestal region is configured to resonantly couple at least one (unwanted) transverse mode of the core region (other than the fundamental mode) to at least one transverse mode of the pedestal region. Also described are multi-tube fabrication techniques for making such fibers as well as single-pass/double-pass fabrication techniques for making the trench regions of such fibers.
