- equation (5) can be used to evaluate the connection efficiency power calculated for the MFD force of two types of optical fibers.

- Connection loss is caused by the difference in MFD between the two types of optical fibers to be connected or the field axis misalignment. For this reason, as the MFD deviation increases (in Fig. 4, 9.2 m force is lost), the splice loss increases. For this reason, a design with an MFD of less than 6.5 m has a very stable bending loss, but the design is very unstable from the viewpoint of connection.

This means that it is not necessary to give an excessive margin to the line design by applying this optical fiber, and an efficient design becomes possible.

- This example is an example of designing optimum characteristics when it is assumed that bending up to a radius of 10 mm is applied to SMF200 using the refractive index profile shown in FIG.
- Figure 11 shows the relationship between the MFD at 1310 nm when the cable cutoff wavelength is 1260 nm and the bending loss when 10 bends are held at a radius of 10 mm at 1550 nm using the refractive index distribution shown in Figs. Shown in It can be seen that the refractive index profile in Fig. 10 can reduce the bending loss in the same MFD compared to the refractive index profile in Fig. 1. But However, as MFD increases, the bending loss tends to decrease. According to the conventional design method that focuses only on bending loss, 7. O / zm is preferred as the MFD.

This is an expected result from the dependence of the total loss coefficient on MFD in Fig. 12, and is the effect brought about by the improvement of the refractive index profile.
- the maximum loss of sample 5 produced by applying the method of the present invention to the trench type refractive index profile is about 55% compared to sample 6 of the conventional method. It is suppressed at a time.
- the amount of loss change under the assumed usage conditions has been improved by more than 10%. Compared to the single-peak conventional design method (Sample 2), it can be seen that it is improved by 33 to 65%.
- the variation of the total loss due to the MFD variation can be suppressed to be small. Even assuming MFD fluctuations of about ⁇ 0., The amount of change in total loss is very small, 0.05 dB or less. In sample 6 of the conventional design method, assuming the same level of MFD fluctuation, a loss fluctuation of about 0.5 dB is expected.
- the SMF designed by the method of the present invention has a small total loss due to bending and connection, and further, even if an MFD variation of an optical fiber that is unavoidable for manufacturing is assumed, the total loss variation You can see that it is very small. This means that it is not necessary to give an excessive margin to the line design by applying this optical fiber, and an efficient design becomes possible.

- the cladding diameter was 125 ⁇ m and the cable cutoff wavelength was 1260 nm.
- Example 7 The loss maximum value and loss change amount of Sample 7 are lower than those of Example 2 (Sample 3) in which the method of the present invention is applied to the single-peak refractive index distribution. This is an effect brought about by improving the refractive index distribution.
- Sample 7 produced by applying the method of the present invention to the trench-type refractive index profile shown in Fig. 10 has the same amount of loss change as the sample 8 obtained by the conventional method. The value is suppressed to about 82%. Compared with the conventional single-peak design method (sample 4) in Fig. 1, the maximum loss and the amount of change are reduced to about half.
- the SMF designed by the method of the present invention has a small total loss due to bending and connection, and even if an MFD variation of an optical fiber unavoidable for manufacturing is assumed, the total loss variation You can see that it is very small. This means that it is not necessary to give an excessive margin to the line design by applying this optical fiber, and an efficient design becomes possible.
- the force using 1310 nm as the MFD evaluation wavelength and 1550 nm as the bending loss evaluation wavelength is not particularly limited by this embodiment.
- an MFD having a wavelength of 1310 nm was used for comparison with ITU-T G. 652.
- the wavelength of 1550 nm belongs to the longer wavelength side in the wavelength generally used for optical communication at present. Since the bending loss of optical fibers tends to be worse at longer wavelengths, 1550 nm was used as the evaluation wavelength for bending loss.
- the calculated value calculated from Equation (1) was used as the connection loss evaluation.
- the SMF can be optimized more accurately.
- the clad diameter is 125 m, but the present invention is not limited to this.
