Abstract: A quasi-single-mode (QSM) optical fiber includes a core and a cladding surrounding the core. The core includes a centerline and an outer edge. The cladding includes an interior edge and an exterior edge. The cladding has a cladding outer diameter defined by the exterior edge of the cladding. The cladding outer diameter may be in the range of greater than 170 μm to about 200 μm. The QSM fiber has a cabled cutoff wavelength that is greater than about 1530 nm. The core and the cladding support a fundamental mode LP01 and a higher-order mode LP11. The fundamental mode LP01 has an effective area Aeff>150 μm2.

Abstract: A differential mode delay (DMD) measurement system for an optical fiber is provided. The system includes an optical test fiber with a plurality of modes; a single mode light source that provides a continuous light wave signal to a modulator; and a pulse generator that provides an electrical pulse train signal to the modulator and a triggering signal to a receiver. The modulator is configured to generate a modulated optical test signal through the optical fiber based at least in part on the received light wave and pulse train signals, and the receiver is configured to receive the test signal transmitted through the fiber and evaluate the test signal based at least in part on the triggering signal. The system can be employed to create DMD waveform and centroid charts to obtain minEMBc bandwidth information for a fiber within a wavelength range.

Abstract: Methods of manufacturing multi-mode optical fiber, and multi-mode optical fiber produced thereby, are disclosed. According to embodiments, a method for forming an optical fiber may include heating a multi-mode optical fiber preform and applying a draw tension to a root of the multi-mode optical fiber preform on a long axis of the multi-mode optical fiber preform thereby drawing a multi-mode optical fiber from the root of the multi-mode optical fiber preform. The draw tension may be modulated while the multi-mode optical fiber is drawn from the root of the multi-mode optical fiber preform. Modulating the draw tension introduces stress perturbations in the multi-mode optical fiber and corresponding refractive index perturbations in a core of the multi-mode optical fiber.

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.

Abstract: Pressure-sensing touch systems and methods are disclosed for sensing the occurrence of a touch event based on pressure applied at a touch location. The touch system includes a light-source system and a detector system operably adjacent respective input and output edges of a waveguide. Pressure at a touch location on the waveguide gives rise to a touch event causes the waveguide to bend or flex. The waveguide bending causes a change in the optical paths of light traveling by FTIR, causing the light distribution in the output light to change. The changes are detected and are used to determine whether a touch event occurred, as well as the time-evolution of the touch event. The changes in the output light can include polarization changes caused by birefringence induced in the waveguide by the applied pressure applied. Various detector configurations are disclosed for sensing the location and pressure of a touch event.

Abstract: According to embodiments, an optical fiber may include a core portion comprising a radius rC, a centerline CL, a numerical aperture NA greater than or equal to 0.15 and less than or equal to 0.25, a graded relative refractive index profile having a maximum relative refractive index ΔCmax and an α value greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 3. The core portion may include an up-dopant with a graded concentration from the radius rC to the centerline CL and an attenuation dopant with a constant concentration from the centerline CL of the core portion to the radius rC of the core portion. The optical fiber is multi-moded for wavelengths of light within a range from 800 nm to 1350 nm and an attenuation of the optical fiber wavelengths between 800 nm and 1000 nm is greater than or equal to 0.5 dB/m.

Abstract: A Brillouin-based distributed bend fiber sensor and method for using the Brillouin-based distributed bend fiber sensor are described herein. In one example, the Brillouin-based distributed bend fiber sensor is specially configured to measure a temperature distribution (ΔT), a bend angle β, and a bend radius R along a deployed fiber (e.g., four-core fiber).
