The invention discloses a high-bandwidth multimode
optical fiber with a gradient
refractive index. The multimode
optical fiber sequentially comprises a core layer I, a core layer II, an inner cladding layer I, an inner cladding layer II, a sunken cladding layer, a transition cladding layer and an outer cladding layer from inside to outside in the radial direction of the multimode
optical fiber, the
refractive index profile of the core layer I and the core layer II is continuously and gradually changed, the
refractive index profile of the inner cladding I is continuously and gradually changed, and the
refractive index profile is a straight line or a curve. By improving the control opening degree of the core layer II GeCl4
mass flow controller, the defect of flow fluctuation or poor flow control consistency caused by multi-loop flow control is overcome, and the defect of poor
valve opening degree
repeatability under the low opening degree of the
mass flow controller is improved; accurate control of the
refractive index profile of the multi-mode optical
fiber prepared under single
dopant control flow control is achieved, the batch preparation consistency of the multi-mode optical
fiber is high, and the bandwidth characteristic is excellent. The
refractive index profile of the core layer II is adjusted more accurately, the DMD performance of the 20-23 [mu] m area is optimized, and the effective mode bandwidth EMB of the prepared multimode optical
fiber at the
wavelength of 953 nm is remarkably improved.
