Problems solved by technology

However, due to the high chromatic dispersion of the germanium-doped core, the optimal α value is sensitive to the operating wavelength of the light propagating in the fiber

Therefore, the bandwidth of traditional multimode fiber is very sensitive to the fluctuation of α in the core layer, and a slight deviation from the optimal α value will lead to a decrease in bandwidth, making the high-bandwidth operating wavelength range of traditional multimode fiber very narrow

In addition, since germanium is a metal atom with a large radius, when its doping amount is high, the attenuation of the fiber is high
