Problems solved by technology

[0004] Bend-insensitive optical fibers generally have a depressed cladding, and optimized bend-insensitive single-mode optical fiber patent documents CN110780379B, CN110749953A, CN103257397B, and CN102200610B use a depressed cladding while also setting a raised cladding. However, from the example data, it is difficult to meet the bending loss requirements of G.657.A2 and G.657.B3 under small bending radii for the design of such a dispersion-optimized single-mode fiber convex cladding

Abstract

The invention discloses a dispersion-optimized bending-insensitive optical fiber. A transition sunken cladding is arranged between a core layer and a sunken cladding, and the relative refractive index difference of the transition sunken cladding continuously changes from 0% to the relative refractive index difference of a junction point of the sunken cladding from inside to outside. According to the invention, the waveguide dispersion and macro-bending performance are balanced and optimized by adopting the double sunken claddings, so that the dispersion coefficient of the optical fiber is reduced on the premise that the bending performance of the optical fiber is not influenced; wherein the refractive index of the transition sunken cladding between the core layer and the sunken cladding changes continuously, so that waveguide dispersion caused by the refractive index difference between the core layer and the cladding in the waveguide structure is reduced, the refractive index distribution and width of the transition sunken cladding are limited, the dispersion coefficient is optimized, and the problem that the bending loss is too large under the small bending radius due to the convex cladding is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of optical fiber communication, and more specifically relates to a dispersion-optimized bend-insensitive optical fiber. Background technique [0002] Dispersion is an important transmission characteristic of optical fiber. Dispersion is a physical effect in which different frequency or mode components in light waves travel at different speeds and produce different time delays. With the continuous increase of the optical fiber transmission distance, the broadening of the optical pulse caused by dispersion causes the front and rear pulses to overlap each other, causing inter-symbol crosstalk of digital signals, resulting in an increase in the bit error rate. There are mainly two kinds of dispersion in single-mode optical fiber: material dispersion and waveguide dispersion. Material dispersion is the dispersion characteristic caused by the signal pulse broadening caused by the group refractive index of the material chan...
