Abstract
This study investigates a structure for minimizing Rayleigh scattering loss and differential mode delay (DMD) in a dual-step index 2LP-mode fiber which is composed of a pure silica center core, F-doped outer core and F-doped cladding. The optimum structure with DMD = 0 ns/km shows a Rayleigh scattering loss reduction of 13 % compared to that of the 2LP-mode fiber with a graded-index (GI) GeO2-doped glass core. We examined the effect of structural change on the DMD with the optimum structure and found that the structural change in the radial direction strongly affects the DMD. A radial structure change of less than 2.3 % is required to achieve low DMD in a dual-step index 2LP-mode fiber.
期刊介绍:
Innovations in optical fiber technology are revolutionizing world communications. Newly developed fiber amplifiers allow for direct transmission of high-speed signals over transcontinental distances without the need for electronic regeneration. Optical fibers find new applications in data processing. The impact of fiber materials, devices, and systems on communications in the coming decades will create an abundance of primary literature and the need for up-to-date reviews.
Optical Fiber Technology: Materials, Devices, and Systems is a new cutting-edge journal designed to fill a need in this rapidly evolving field for speedy publication of regular length papers. Both theoretical and experimental papers on fiber materials, devices, and system performance evaluation and measurements are eligible, with emphasis on practical applications.
