Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for forming an optical fiber preform using organic silica and germania precursors. The method includes depositing soot composed of germanium dioxide and silica on a substrate, removing the substrate, conducting a dehydration step and one or more heating steps under an oxygen-containing atmosphere to form the preform. Also disclosed are optical fibers drawn from the preforms produced herein.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the disclosure relate to an optical transmission system that operates at a wavelength in the range from 950 nm to 1600 nm and that employs a single-mode optical transmitter and an optical receiver optically coupled to respective ends of a multimode fiber designed for 850 nm multimode operation. The optical transmission system also employs at least one single mode fiber situated within the optical pathway between the optical transmitter and the receiver and coupled to the multimode fiber.

Abstract: Methods of forming a bandwidth-tuned optical fiber for short-length data transmission systems include establishing a relationship between a change Δτ in a modal delay τ, a change ΔT in a draw tension T and a change Δλ in a BM wavelength λ of light in a BM wavelength range from 840 nm and 1100 nm for a test optical fiber drawn from a preform and that supports BM operation at the BM wavelength. The methods also include drawing from either the preform or a closely related preform the bandwidth-tuned optical fiber by setting the draw tension based on the established relationships of the aforementioned parameters so that the bandwidth-tuned optical fiber has a target bandwidth greater than 2 GHz·km at a target wavelength within the BM wavelength range.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for calculating a modal time delay and a modal bandwidth. For example, a method may include: transmitting an intensity-modulated light through a mode conditioner to generate a mode-conditioned intensity-modulated light; transmitting the mode-conditioned intensity-modulated light through an optical fiber under test (FUT) to excite a plurality of modes of the optical FUT; converting the mode-conditioned intensity-modulated light transmitted through the optical FUT into an electrical signal; measuring, based on the electrical signal, a transfer function or a complex transfer function of the optical FUT based on at least on one pair of the plurality of modes; calculating a modal delay time of the optical FUT based on the transfer function or the complex transfer function; and calculating a modal bandwidth of the optical FUT based on the modal delay time, the modal bandwidth being calculated for any given launch conditions of the plurality of modes.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides optical fibers with an impact-resistant coating system. The fibers feature low attenuation. The coating system includes a primary coating and a secondary coating. The primary coating and secondary coating have reduced thickness to provide low-diameter fibers without sacrificing protection. The primary coating has high tear strength and is resistant to damage caused by mechanical force. The secondary coating has high puncture resistance. The outer diameter of the optical fiber is less than or equal to 190 μm.

Abstract: An optical fiber with low fictive temperature along with a system and method for making the optical fiber are provided. The system includes a reheating stage that heats the fiber along the process pathway to a temperature sufficient to lower the fictive temperature of the fiber by relaxing the glass structure and/or driving the glass toward a more nearly equilibrium state. The fiber is drawn from a preform, conveyed along a process pathway, cooled and subsequently reheated to increase the time of exposure of the fiber to temperatures conducive to lowering the fictive temperature of the fiber. The process pathway may include multiple reheating stages as well as one or more fiber-turning devices.
