2The time, need make a
2/ a
1Value be in 1.5～3.5 these scopes.
For a long time, be to enlarge the transmission capacity of main line and long range systems, adopted the exploitation of the transfer system of WDM (Wave Length Division Multiplexing) and optical fiber in the ascendant always.For WDM transmission optical fiber, require to have the non-linear effect of inhibition and this characteristic of decentralised control.In recent years, at several hundred kilometers left and right sides spans such as subway from system, the optical fiber that having of having proposed reduced chromatic dispersion gradient and almost not based on the optical fiber of the loss increment of OH etc.
Yet, considering under the occasion of office and family's introducing optical fiber (FTTH:Fiber To The Home), require to have and these transmission different characteristics of optical fiber.That is, when buildings and premises laid optical fiber, may need to implement bending diameter was 30mm Φ and this minimum bending of 20mm Φ.During the unnecessary length of this external gathering, even reel with small-bend radius, also do not produce the loss increment, this point is very important.That is, can bear the crooked this point of minor diameter is a very important characteristic towards the optical fiber of FTTH.In addition, have and to be laid in the good connectivity of the optical fiber (mostly being 1.3 common mu m range single-mode fibers) between base station and buildings and the dwelling house also very important.In addition, this purposes is required low cost.
As the optical fiber of distribution in office and family, generally in the past adopt 1.3 common mu m ranges with single-mode fiber and multimode optical fiber.
Yet the bending diameter lower limit of these optical fiber generally only allows and reaches about 60mm Φ, when laying, is necessary that carefulness is careful bending diameter and surpasses permissible range.

The index distribution of optical fiber forms by adding adulterants such as germanium and fluorine.In the processing of VAD that is adopted in the optical fiber manufacturing (Vapor-phase Axial Deposition) and CVD (Chemical VaporDeposition), diffusion that is subjected to adulterant etc. influences the index distribution that the interface of each layer also can occur bluring.
In the optical fiber shown in Figure 1, the refractive index of first coating 2 is at almost stable radially, and index distribution almost is complete scalariform.The index distribution of optical fiber of the present invention needn't necessarily be complete scalariform, is not in refractive index under the occasion of scalariform, by adopting each layer footpath value by the following formula definition, can obtain effect of the present invention equally with the scalariform occasion.At first, with the radius a of core 1
1Be defined as: the maximal value Δ that reduces to the specific refractivity difference in the core 1 from the specific refractivity difference
11/10 position to center till distance.In addition, with each outer rim radius a of first coating 2, second coating 3
2, a

Utilize the radius that in this way defines, can be regarded as out scalariform index distribution (the following component level that also claims converts) with equivalent characteristic.In the present invention, be not scalariform,, then can obtain the desired effect of the present invention yet if the index distribution of being calculated by this component level can satisfy the regulation index of refraction relationship that the present invention relates to even actual refractive index distributes.In the embodiment of this instructions, the specific refractivity that integrating representation carries out the equivalent scalariform profile that component level converts by aforementioned sequence is poor.
In this manual, the specific refractivity difference Δ of each layer
i(unit: %), with the largest refractive index n of the 3rd coating 4
4Be benchmark, represent with following formula (2).
(in the formula, i is 1～3 integer, n
iIt is the largest refractive index of aforementioned each layer.)
As shown in Figure 1, under the occasion that core is made up of one deck, if increase the specific refractivity difference Δ of core 1
1, then can further reduce bending loses, but MFD will be tending towards reducing.In addition, Δ
1After reducing, can obtain bigger MFD, but bending loses will worsen.The invention is characterized in, by second coating 3 is set, even to the MFD of single peak type same degree, also can obtain the good optical fiber of flexural property.In the present invention, although Δ
1Value be not particularly limited, if but with Δ
1If to 0.20～0.70% this scope, preferably establish to 0.25～0.65% this scope, then can obtain connection performance and the good optical fiber of flexural property with Conventional SMF.
The specific refractivity difference Δ of first coating 2

Δ
2After the increase, cutoff wavelength just increases, and can not realize the cutoff wavelength that 1260nm is following.And if the specific refractivity difference Δ of first coating 2
2Too small, then the mould field sealing process based on first coating 2 will strengthen, and be favourable for reducing bending loses, thereby but to improve connectivity then be disadvantageous for enlarging MFD.Therefore, be preferably in the scope that can realize desirable cutoff wavelength, good bending loses and desirable MFD simultaneously Δ is set
2Generally speaking, with Δ
2After being made as more than-0.10%, just can obtain desirable effect.
The specific refractivity difference Δ of second coating 3
3As described later, stipulate its scope of design by refractive index volume V.
Outer rim external diameter (a of the 3rd coating 4
42 times) be the external diameter of optical fiber, be generally 125 μ m.In recent years, external diameter is that small light parts about 80 μ m have been realized commercialization with product.Although in the present invention, also the external diameter of employing and the same scope of ordinary optic fibre is not limited to aforementioned range.
Although can be by the radius a of core 1
1, control cutoff wavelength, but so, after further shortening cutoff wavelength, bending loses is tending towards just increasing.Therefore, in conjunction with the specific refractivity difference Δ of core 1
1, and, suitably select the radius a of core 1 according to desired MFD, cutoff wavelength and bending loses
1
Ratio (a of the outer rim radius of first coating 2 and the radius of core 1
2/ a
1), represent the position of second coating 3.In the present invention, this value be 2.5 and more than, be preferably 3.0 and more than.By at a
2/ a
1The position that is in the aforementioned range of value second coating 3 is set, shown in Fig. 2～3 of hereinafter describing in detail, the variation of mode field diameter (Mode Field Diameter also claims MFD in this manual) can be suppressed to lowlyer, and can improve the bending loses characteristic.
Even a
2/ a
1Excessive, also can expect the reduction effect of bending loses.Yet, a
2/ a
1After the increase, because of Δ
2Variation and the variation of the optical characteristics, the especially cutoff wavelength that take place can become significantly, thereby manufacturing is worsened.In addition, a
2/ a
1After the increase, just can reduce, be difficult to carry out single mode and transmit because of being provided with the effect that second coating 3 brings.Therefore, a
2/ a
1Be 4.5 and below.
The outer rim radius a of second coating 3
3Same with specific refractivity difference Δ, stipulate by refractive index volume V described later.
Wide range of wavelengths band communication till optical fiber can be used for from the 1300nm scope to the 1600nm scope.In the ITU-T standard, G.652 the optical fiber that the 1300nm scope is used be defined as.The lower limit wavelength of 1300nm scope generally is envisioned for 1260nm, in normal term G.652,1260nm and following cutoff wavelength thereof is also stipulated.For this interior single mode till realizing from the 1300nm scope to the 1600nm scope transmits, optical fiber of the present invention is wished to have 1260nm and following cutoff wavelength thereof too on a large scale.This optical characteristics of cutoff wavelength and MFD and bending loses has trade-off relation, and sets index distribution according to desirable characteristic.
It is found that bending loses ratio and a
2/ a
1Value and the value of aforementioned V correlationship is arranged.Particularly, after V increased, bending loses was tending towards reducing than just, and the relation of V and bending loses is by a
2/ a
1The position of the promptly low rate of curving layer of value decide.In the present invention, for realizing better bending loses characteristic, be preferably 25% μ m by the refractive index volume (V) of second coating of following formula (1) expression
2And more than, as be 50% μ m
2And it is above then better.Considering that aforementioned V value is preferably 110% μ m under the occasion that 1260nm and above single mode thereof transmit
2And below.
According to the present invention,, can effectively reduce loss based on bending by being provided with second coating.
Such as, shown in table 1～4 of hereinafter describing in detail, for optical fiber be at diameter the bending loses added value that produced when twining ten circles on the mandrel of 20mm (20mm Φ, below also abbreviate 20 Φ as) (measure wavelength 1550nm, below same.), when the aforementioned bending loses added value in will constituting the single peak type optical fiber that obtains identical cutoff wavelength by the single peak type index distribution that is not provided with second coating 3 is made as 1, under wavelength 1550nm, can make the ratio of the bending loses increase of the optical fiber that the present invention relates to (in this manual, be called the bending loses ratio.) be reduced to 0.4 and below, preferably can be reduced to 0.15 and below.
According to the present invention, can obtain based on the littler optical fiber of the loss of bending.Particularly, under wavelength 1550nm, can make the aforementioned bending loses ratio that is produced when on diameter is the mandrel of 15mm (15mm Φ, below also abbreviate 15 Φ as), twining ten circles be reduced to 0.55 and below, preferably can be reduced to 0.25 and below.

Can find out from the result of table 1～table 4,, can reduce bending loses being provided with under the occasion of low-index layer.By observing according to the bending loses that has or not low-index layer to come the comparison bending loses, just can easily find out the effect that bending loses reduces than parameter.Such as, be example with the bending loses of 1550nm, 20mm Φ, for there not being the sample No.21,28,35,38 of low-index layer, the bending loses that every coiling is ten times surpasses 0.5dB.Especially for sample No.35,38, the bending loses of 10dB has taken place to surpass.Yet for sample No.22,23,29～34,36,37,39,40, its bending loses ratio is below 0.4.For sample No.22,23,30,31, the bending loses that every coiling is ten times is lower than 0.5dB.Shown in sample No.1,5,9,12,, also can carry out 20mm Φ and be wound as the following design of 0.5db for ten times even be not provided with the structure of low-index layer.Yet in not being provided with the structure of these low-index layers, under the 1310nm condition, MFD will be lower than 7.5 μ m, compare with the design of having adopted low-index layer of the present invention, aggravate with the loss that is connected of SMF, thereby be bad in this.In addition, although the bending loses of No.29,33,34,36,37 under 20mm Φ and ten coiling conditions surpasses 1dB,, can realize that 5dB and above loss thereof reduce, and the bending loses of number dB only takes place for the No.28 that becomes benchmark, 35.These samples, have G.652 MFD, cutoff wavelength, the zero-dispersion wavelength of the single-mode fiber of standard code based on ITU-T, but also have the effect of very big inhibition, the bending that is produced when suppressing common line with cable laying in addition in addition and the effect of the loss increment that causes based on the loss increment of bending.
On the other hand, although refractive index volume V at 110% μ m
2And above sample No.16,18,24～27,32 has minimum bending loses, but cutoff wavelength is very long, can not realize transmitting as 1260nm of the object of the invention and following single mode thereof.
For having added the optical fiber of this low-index layer, even, also can carry out to keep MFD, and almost can not lose the design of increment to the 15mm Φ of minor diameter more.Such as, sample No.13～15,17,19,20, the bending loses under 1550nm, 15mm Φ, this condition of reeling for ten times is 0.1dB and following, the MFD under the 1310nm also is about 7.3 μ m.Even be not provided with the single peak type of low-index layer, also can make the bending loses under 15mm Φ, this condition of reeling for ten times under 1550nm, be 0.1dB and following by adopting No.1,5,9 structure.Yet the MFD under the 1310nm will compare with the optical fiber of the structure of the present invention with equal flexural property less than 6.9 μ m, with the connection performance deterioration of SMF.
The sample No.1,5,9 that under 15mm Φ, has a minimum bending loses too, under 10mm Φ (also abbreviating 10 Φ as) condition, loss just bends.Even this very little bending diameter of 10mm Φ by adopting the additional structure that low-index layer is arranged, also can reduce bending loses.Such as, sample No.2～4,6～8 have the MFD almost same with sample No.1,5 respectively, and under 1550mm, 10mm Φ condition, can obtain 0.13 and following bending loses.Sample No.10,11 compares with sample No.6～8 of MFD equal extent under the 1310nm, has littler bending loses.Its reason is some Δs
2The specific refractivity difference be made as effect after the negative value.
