Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing multimode silica-based optical fiber and to provide fiber manufactured by this method. SOLUTION: The method for manufacturing the multimode optical fiber of wide range silica-base contains provision of noncircular preform and drawing of fiber of chiral structure from the preform. The noncircular preform can be manufactured by maintaining the inside of a tubular preform under reduced pressure during at least a part of breaking and consequently obtaining a noncircular core and a cladding. The noncircular preform can be also manufactured by removing proper parts of the preform (by grinding or by plasma etching, for example) and obtaining a circular core and a noncircular cladding. The chiral structure is given to the fiber, for example, by twisting the fiber alternately in a clockwise direction and in an anticlockwise direction with respect to the preform during drawing of the fiber.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multi-mode fiber having an improved refractive index profile in low-mode by improving the behavior of high-mode propagation in a optical fiber and compensating for the existence of a center dip. SOLUTION: The optical fiber of this invention has a core and a cladding layer surrounding the core. The interface between the cladding layer and the core forms a boundary region and the core has a modified refractive index profile which is characterized by an alpha-profile corrected by at least one among the methods of (a) combining a step formed in the refractive index and linear correction adjacent the boundary region (b) combining of refractive index ripple and linear correction adjacent the boundary region (c) being to have refractive index ridge adjacent the center of the fiber.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an optical fiber reducing a loss caused by a stimulated Brillouin scattering by preparing an optical fiber perform having a Ge-doped core, heating a part thereof and performing a draw-forming at a specific drawing force. SOLUTION: This optical fiber is produced by preparing a perform as a glass rod having 1m length and 20-200mm outer diameter and an inside core as a high purity and a low loss silicate containing Ge, having 1-5mm diameter, and an outside clad layer as a glass layer having a lower refractive index than that of the inside core. The end part of the perform is heated at a high temperature and the optical fiber is drawn. The drawing force is changed in accordance with shapes of a sine wave, a triangular wave or a trapezoidal wave along the lengthwise direction of the fiber, and a minimum and a maximum forces therefor are 10-50g and 150-150g respectively. A preferable wave length of the sine wave is 3-30km, a preferable length of the base of the triangular wave is 3-30km, that of the base (longer side) of the trapezoidal wave is 3-15km, and that of the upside (shorter side) thereof is 1-13km.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid the instability of modulation and the effect of the four-wave mixing in a Raman-amplification optical transmission system. SOLUTION: A transmission fiber which is used in the Raman-amplification optical transmission system is constituted so as to exhibit specific characteristics for restricting the instability of modulation and the four-wave mixing in an amplification area and, as a result, noise constituting elements existing in the transmission system are reduced.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a microstructure optical fiber for accomplishing distributed compensation. SOLUTION: An optical fiber system is provided with an optical transmitter, an optical receiver and an optical fiber transmission line which optically couples the transmitter and the receiver with each other. The transmission line is provided with a first section having negative dispersion in an operation wavelength #10 larger than about 1300 nm and a second section having a microstructure optical fiber(MOF). The MOF is provided with a relatively large anomalous dispersion in #10 and has a length enough to compensate negative dispersion accumulated in the first section. The MOF is provided with an internal clad area wherein capillary tube-shaped air holes are arranged on the circumference of a core area.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid the attenuation caused by multiple reflectors, by a method wherein multiple narrow band reflectors having reflecting power curve in the half maximum time full width larger than a pertinent Stokes shift are arranged so as to provide a plurality of wavelength with optical cavities. SOLUTION: In an optical fiber RAMAN device composed of an optical fiber 11 in a specific length, a pumpping source 12 and a set of narrow band reflectors 13, one each of wide band mirror 21 reflects all wavelengths entered thereinto. Next, pump radiation in wavelength of λp is led into the optical fiber 11 in a specific length to be selected to reflect the radiation in respective wavelengths λ1...λn, while the wavelength difference in every adjacent two wavelengths corresponds to a Stokes shift as well as a plurality of narrow band reflectors 13 of the device in n>=2 are provided with reflecting power curve respectively having the half maximum time full width not exceeding 20 nm. Furthermore, the wide band reflectors having the half maximum time full width larger than the Stokes shift are arranged so as to form the optical cavities in wavelength of λ1...ν.
