Abstract:
Disclosed is an optical transmission fiber having reduced bending and microbending losses that is commercially usable in FTTH or FTTC transmission systems.
Abstract:
An improved optical fiber achieves both reduced bending and microbending losses, as well as a much higher Brillouin threshold, as compared to standard transmission fibers. The optical fiber comprises a core including at least two dopants and having a refractive index difference Δn1 with an outer optical cladding, a first inner cladding having a refractive index difference Δn2 with the outer cladding, and a depressed, second inner cladding having a refractive index difference Δn3 with the outer cladding of less than −3×10−3. The radial concentration of at least one of the core dopants varies continuously over the entire core region of the optical fiber.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and a device for manufacturing optical performs, in which one or more layers of glass, doped or undoped, are deposited onto the internal surface of a hollow substrate tube, which deposition is effected by supplying one or more reactive gas mixtures of glass-forming compounds tot the interior of the hollow substrate tube and subsequently generating a non-isothermal plasma in the hollow substrate tube, after which the preform is subjected to a contraction process for the purpose of forming a massive rod, from which optical fibres are drawn.

Abstract:
A single mode optical transmission fiber comprises a depressed core having at least 0.41 weight percent fluorine and an index difference (|Δn1|) with pure silica greater than 1.5×10−3, a depressed cladding having at least 1.2 weight percent fluorine and an index difference (|Δn2|) with pure silica greater than 4.5×10−3 and an index difference (|Δn2|−|Δn1|) with the depressed core greater than or equal to 3×10−3.
Abstract:
An optical transmission fiber comprises a central core having an index difference Δn1 with an outer optical cladding; a first inner cladding having an index difference Δn2 with the outer cladding; and a second buried inner cladding having an index difference Δn3 with the outer cladding of less than −3.10−3. The second buried inner cladding moreover contains Germaniumn in a weight concentration of between 0.5% and 7%. The fiber shows reduced bending and microbending losses whilst exhibiting the optical performances of a standard single-mode fiber (SSMF).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and a device for manufacturing optical performs, in which one or more layers of glass, doped or undopod, are deposited onto the internal surface of a hollow substrate tube, which deposition is effected by supplying one or more reactive gas mixtures of glass-forming compounds tot the interior of the hollow substrate tube and subsequently generating a non-isothermal plasma in the hollow substrate tube, after which the preform is subjected to a contraction process for the purpose of forming a massive rod, from which optical fibres are drawn.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and a device for determining the cut-off wavelength of an optical fiber. A first aspect of the present invention is to provide a method for determining the cut-off wavelength of an optical fiber, which method provides a stable measurement, which measurement is substantially independent of the exact fiber position.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the use of a local area fibre optic network for enabling data communication. The method comprises the steps of supplying an intensity-modulated light signal to at least one fibre of the fibre optic network by means of a transmission unit and receiving the intensity-modulated light signal by means of the receiver unit that is connected to the fibre. The intensity of the intensity-modulated light signal is modulated for the purpose of providing a bit rate of at least 30 Gbps for the data communication. The light for providing the intensity-modulated light signal has a wavelength that ranges between 1200 nm and 1400 nm. The invention further relates to a method for altering a 10 Gigabit ethernet local area fibre optic network for the purpose of adapting the fibre optic network for data communication at a bit rate in excess of 30 Gbps. The invention also relates to a fibre optic network.
