    Abstract: Methods for connecting two optical fibers having different mode field diameters ((MFD) with low connection loss is proposed. One method comprises steps of preparing the third fiber (Fiber 3), a short length and MFD being smaller than that of the first fiber (Fiber 1) and larger than that of the second (Fiber 2), connecting the Fiber 1 to 3, connecting Fiber 2 to 3, and increasing MFD of Fiber 3 near the part connected or to be connected to Fiber 1, or MFD of Fiber 2 near the part connected or to be connected to Fiber 3 by heating the corresponding part. The other method comprises steps of preparing a short length Fiber 3 having smaller MFD than that of Fiber 1, increasing MFD of Fiber 3 near the part to be connected to Fiber 1 by heating the corresponding part, and then connecting Fiber 1 to 3, and 3 to 2 in that order.

    Abstract: The present invention is related to a chromatic dispersion compensating module which realizes signal transmission at a high bit rate by its simple constitution, and an optical transmission system comprising the same. The chromatic dispersion compensating module according to the present invention comprises a chromatic dispersion compensator which compensates for the chromatic dispersion of an optical fiber transmission line at a predetermined wavelength, and a temperature controller which controls the temperature of the chromatic dispersion compensator in such a manner to set the chromatic dispersion of the chromatic dispersion compensator at a desired value. By this constitution, the dispersion compensation control in correspondence with the chromatic dispersion fluctuation in the optical fiber transmission line caused by the temperature fluctuation and the like is made possible. Hence, the cumulative chromatic dispersion as viewed from the entire optical fiber transmission line can be effectively reduced by its simple constitution.

    Abstract: This invention relates to an optical fiber having a structure that effectively reduces transmission loss and bending loss. An optical fiber according to this invention is an optical fiber mainly comprised of silica and including a core region and a cladding region covering the core region. The core region is doped with chlorine so as to have a refractive index higher than that of pure silica. The cladding region is doped with fluorine so as to have a refractive index lower than that of pure silica. The optical fiber, in particular, is characterized in that a peak value of a relative refractive index difference of the core region with respect to a refractive index of pure silica is 0.05% or more.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical fiber having, at least, a structure for effectively restraining microbend loss from increasing. This optical fiber is an optical fiber suitable for a dispersion-flattened fiber, a dispersion-compensating fiber, and the like, and insured its single mode in a wavelength band in use. In particular, since the fiber diameter is 140 &mgr;m or more, this optical fiber has a high rigidity, so that the increase in microbend loss is effectively suppressed, whereas the probability of the optical fiber breaking due to bending stresses is practically unproblematic since the fiber diameter is 200 &mgr;m or less. Also, since this optical fiber has a larger mode field diameter, it lowers the optical energy density per unit cross-sectional area, thereby effectively restraining nonlinear optical phenomena from occurring.
