    Abstract: An optical fiber having a silica-based core region with an outer radius r1 from about 4.0 microns to about 4.6 microns and a core volume from about 4.5% Δ-micron2 to about 5.5% Δ-micron2. The optical fiber further includes a depressed-index cladding region and an outer cladding region. The depressed-index cladding region having an inner radius r2 such that r1/r2 is greater than about 0.4 and less than about 0.6 and a trench volume between about −50% Δ-micron2s and about −20% Δ-micron2. The optical fiber has a mode field diameter at 1310 nm from about 8.8 microns to about 9.4 microns, a 2 m cable cutoff from about 1120 nm to about 1260 nm, a bending loss at 1310 nm, as determined by the mandrel wrap test using a 15 mm diameter mandrel, of less than 1.0 dB/turn, and a zero dispersion wavelength between 1300 nm and 1324 nm.

    Abstract: Integrated torque jacket systems and methods for optical coherence tomography are disclosed. The system includes an optical fiber cable having an optical fiber surrounded by an outer jacket. An optical probe is operably attached to the distal end of the optical fiber cable. The optical fiber cable includes either a plurality of low-friction bearings or a spiral member operably attached thereto along its length, thereby defining the integrated torque jacket system. The integrated torque jacket system resides within the flexible guide tube with a close fit that allows for rotation and axial translation of the integrated torque jacket system within the guide tube interior. The integrated torque jacket system serves to transfer torque and axial translation applied at its proximal end to the distal end to rotate and axially translate the optical probe within the guide tube.
