Abstract
Four non-zero-dispersion-shifted fibers with almost the same large effective area () and optimized dispersion properties are realized by novel index profile designing and modified vapor axial deposition and modified chemical vapor deposition processes. An of greater than is obtained for the designed fibers. Three of the developed fibers with positive dispersion are improved by reducing the dispersion slope from to or , increasing the dispersion from to or , and shifting the zero-dispersion wavelength from to . One of these fibers is in good agreement with G655D and G.656 fibers simultaneously, and another one with G655E and G.656 fibers; both fibers are beneficial to high-bit long-haul dense wavelength division multiplexing systems over S-, C-, and L-bands. The fourth developed fiber with negative dispersion is also improved by reducing the dispersion slope from to , increasing the dispersion from to , providing facilities for a submarine transmission system. Experimental measurements indicate that the developed fibers all have excellent optical transmission and good macrobending and splice performances.
