Effects of draw conditions on toss in multimode optical fibers

Abstract

There have been several studies published on the effect of draw tension on the loss of optical fibers. One study1 on step-index fibers found a sharp decrease in loss as tension increased from 5 to 10 g, then a gradual increase in loss as tension increased above 35 g. Another study2 found a gradual decrease in loss for increasing tension at all levels for a graded-index GeO2–P2O5–SiO2 preform. A third study3, found the loss to be independent of tension over the entire range. All had average B coefficients in excess of 0.7 dB/km. The present study employed graded-index GeO2–P2O5–SiO2 fibers, and a significant decrease in loss was observed as tension was increased from 5 to 25 g.
