Definitions

  • DM dispersion managed
  • One aspect of the present invention relates to an optical fiber having different diameters along its length, and a method of making such fiber.
  • the index of refraction profile of the optical fiber preform is selected so that, when the optical fiber preform is drawn into an optical fiber having such differing diameters along its length, the result is an optical fiber which varies along its longitudinal length (i.e., corresponding to the regions of differing diameters) between regions of negative and positive dispersion in the 1550 nm operating window, which preferably consists of the window between about 1480 and about 1625 nm.
  • the fiber also varies between regions of negative and positive dispersion slope along the length of the fiber in the 1550 nm operating window.
  • the regions of negative dispersion correspond to regions of negative dispersion slope and the regions of positive dispersion correspond to regions of positive dispersion slope.
  • different diameters it is meant that the difference in diameters between these alternating sections is sufficient to result in noticeably different dispersion properties along the length of the fiber.
  • the alternating segments have diameters which differ in magnitude by more than three (3), and more preferably more than five (5) microns.
  • any refractive index profile can be employed to produce a fiber having such varying negative and positive dispersion characteristics along its length.
  • standard single mode fiber changes dispersion very little with diameter, particularly at 1550 nm.
  • One preferred family of refractive index profiles which enables a fiber having the desired alternating dispersion characteristics, when drawn to differing diameters along its length, consists of a core region surrounded by a cladding region, wherein the core region comprises a central core region which is updoped with respect to said cladding region, said central core region surrounded by a moat region which is downdoped with respect to said cladding region, and said moat region is surrounded by an annular ring region which is updoped with respect to said cladding region.
  • Preferred fibers made in accordance in the present invention yield a net dispersion of less than 1.0 ps/nm-km at 1550 nm and a dispersion slope of less than .03 ps/nm 2 -km over the wavelength range 1480 to 1625 nm, more preferably a dispersion of .5 ps/nm-km and a dispersion slope of less than .01 ps/nm 2 -km over the wavelength range 1480 to 1625 nm, and the most preferable fibers made in accordance with the present invention exhibit a dispersion of less than .1 ps/nm-km at 1550 nm and a dispersion slope of less than .005 ps/nm 2 -km over the wavelength range 1480 to 1625 nm.
  • Modern feedback control loops can be used to control both downfeed rate and draw rate to control fiber diameters.
  • the fiber O.D. change is most quickly achieved by changing the tractor (fiber take-up) speed and thus the draw rate.
  • the diameter of the core of the fiber changes as the tractor speed changes, thereby enabling the transition region between different diameters to be kept relatively short.
  • the fiber is drawn so that the segments of different diameters differ in magnitude of outside fiber diameter by greater than 3 microns, more preferably greater than 5 microns, and most preferably greater than 10 microns measured at the outside diameter of the fiber.
  • the fiber is preferably alternates between sections which are between 100 m and 3 km in length, and more preferably the alternating sections are least 250 m in length and less than 2 km

  • a glass optical fiber preform is manufactured which has an index of refraction profile sufficient so that, when the fiber is drawn into an optical fiber having the different diameters along its length, the result is an optical fiber which also varies along its longitudinal length (i.e., corresponding to the regions of differing diameters) between regions of negative and positive dispersion and also between regions of negative and positive dispersion slope in the 1550 nm operating window, which preferably consists of the window between 1480 and 1625 nm.
  • FIGs. 1 and 2 Such a core refractive index profile is illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2.
  • the index of refraction of the cladding corresponds to zero on the Y- axis.
  • Both of the profiles illiustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 exhibit an updoped centeriine core region which is surrounded by a moat and updoped annular ring.
  • the moat between the centeriine region and the annular ring preferably is downdoped with respect to the cladding.
  • An optional updoped annular ring may also be employed. In some preferred embodiments
  • the annular ring exhibits a delta percent which is between +.10 and +.8.
  • the central core has a delta percent of about +.85, a depressed moat of - .4 delta percent, and an annular ring surrounding the depressed moat which has a delta percent of about 4.1 percent.
  • the radii of the three segments is preferably selected so that, if the radius of the first centeriine up-doped segment is taken to be a, the radius of the moat section taken to be b, then b/a preferably is between about 1.5 to 3.0, more preferably between about 2 and 2.5. If the outer radius of the optional annular ring is c, then c/a is preferably between about 2.5 and 3.0.
  • the profiles disclosed in Figs. 1 and 2 meet these radius limitations and also comprise a central core region having a delta percent between about +.7 to 1.0, a depressed moat core region in the range of -.25 to -.5 percent delta, and an annular ring surrounding the depressed moat in the range of about +.2 to +.8 percent.
  • Such refractive index profiles can be made using any of the techniques known in the art, and preferably are made using a chemical vapor deposition technique such as the outside vapor deposition (OVD) process, the vapor axial deposition (VAD) process, or the inside vapor (MCVD) deposition process.
  • OLED outside vapor deposition

  • the different diameters may be separated by a difference of more than three (3), more preferably more than five (5) microns.
  • the core profile illustrated in Fig. 1 has dispersion properties that are very sensitive to core diameter. Normally this is considered a bad attribute as fiber manufacturers would normally prefer a wide core diameter tolerance in order to facilitate control of the manufacturing process to produce higher yields. Yet, we have found that, by employing the methods of the present invention, the sensitivity of the profile shown in Fig. 1 can be used advantageously to achieve dispersion management by simply drawing the preform blank to different outside fiber diameters.

  • Table I by drawing the optional fiber preform having the index of refraction illustrated in Fig. 1 into a fiber whose outside diameters alternated between 115 and 133.5 microns, one can achieve near zero net dispersion with very low slope over the length of the fibers.
  • Table II shows the dispersion properties for a 14 km section of fiber alternately drawn as described above, i.e., into a fiber whose outside diameter alternated between 115 and 133.5 microns (i.e., a difference in diameter between alternating adjacent sections which is greater than 10 microns) every 500 meters.
  • segment lengths need not be of equal length to best compensate the dispersion of various profiles, and instead these lengths can be varied according to the dispsersion characteristics of the .Because the fiber is drawn to have varying outside diameters, the physical core of the fiber will also likewise have varying diameters.
  • the net total dispersion of the resultant fiber is -.17 ps/nm-km at 1550 with a slope of about -.00158 ps/nm 2 -km over the wavelength range 1480 to 1625 nm. Also important is the fact that the zero dispersion wavelength is in all cases outside the 1500 to 1700 nm range.
  • the fiber illustrated with reference to Table II also exhibited a mode field diameter of about 25.5 microns, and a zero dispersion wavelength of about 1440.68.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une fibre optique et un procédé de fabrication de celle-ci. Cette fibre présente des régions de diamètre différent alternées sur sa longueur. On choisit l'indice de réfraction de la préforme et les diamètres de la fibre de manière à obtenir une fibre présentant des sections à dispersion positive et négative à une longueur d'ondes supérieure à 1480 nm, mais dont la dispersion totale et la pente sont de préférence faibles. Une version préférée de ce type de profil comprend une région coeur entourée d'une région gaine. La région coeur est composée d'une région centrale dont le coefficient de dopage est plus élevé que celui de la gaine, ce coeur étant en outre entouré d'une région douve présentant un coefficient de dopage inférieur à celui de la gaine. La région douve est entourée d'une région annulaire présentant un coefficient de dopage supérieur à celui de la gaine.
