Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber transmission, in particular to a single-mode optical fiber with ultra-low attenuation and large effective area. Background technique [0002] With the rapid growth of IP network data services, operators' demand for transmission capacity continues to increase, and the single-fiber capacity in the existing network is gradually approaching the limit value of 100Tbps. The 100G transmission system has entered the first year of commercial use. How to further increase the transmission capacity on the basis of 100G transmission signals is the focus of attention of various system equipment manufacturers and operators. [0003] In 100G and beyond 100G systems, the receiving end adopts coherent reception and digital signal processing technology (DSP), which can digitally compensate the dispersion and polarization mode dispersion (PMD) accumulated in the entire transmission process in the electrical do...

Problems solved by technology

However, if in the design of ultra-low attenuation and large effective area optical fiber, especially in the ultra-low attenuation and large effective area optical fiber using pure silica material as the outer cladding, because the refractive index of the core layer is the same as that of the pure silica outer cladding The difference is not large, and the core diameter of the large effective area fiber design is generally very large, which is more likely to cause the most troublesome fundamental mode leakage in the fiber waveguide design, causing abnormal long-wavelength attenuation of the fiber

However, conventional solutions, such as increasing the volume of a single depressed cladding, will cause the cut-off wavelength of the fiber to exceed the standard. Therefore, finding a better design method for the depressed cladding is also the focus of achieving ultra-low attenuation and large effective area fiber design.

[0014] Second, consider viscosity matching: If there is no viscosity optimization design in the outer cladding material, its viscosity will not match the viscosity gradient of the inner cladding and core layers, which will also cause defects in the interface position and virtual temperature rise, thereby increasing the optical fiber attenuation

[0016] The document US8515231B2 proposes a single-mode optical fiber with a double depressed cladding structure, but the core rod is designed with high-concentration Ge doping, and the core layer diameter is small, so it cannot achieve ultra-low attenuation performance, and the effective area is obviously less than 100 μm 2 , can not suppress the nonlinear effect of the fiber
