Abstract

An optical fiber includes (i) a chlorine doped silica based core having a core alpha (Core alpha) >=4, a radius r1, and a maximum refractive index delta 1max % and (ii) a cladding surrounding the core. The cladding surrounding the core includes a) a first inner cladding region adjacent to and in contact with the core and having a refractive index delta 2, a radius r2, and a minimum refractive index delta 2min such that delta 2min < delta 1max, b) a second inner cladding adjacent to and in contact with the first inner cladding having a refractive index delta 3, a radius r3, and a minimum refractive index delta 3min such that 3min < delta 2, and c) an outer cladding region surrounding the second inner cladding region and having a refractive index delta5, a radius rmax, and a minimum refractive index delta 3min such that delta 3min < delta 2.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 to U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 542,518, filed August 8, 2017, and Dutch Patent Application No. 2019817, filed October 27, 2017, filed as The contents of both are based on and are incorporated by reference in their entirety. technical field [0002] The present disclosure relates generally to single-mode optical fibers having low bend loss, in particular to optical fibers having a chlorine-doped core, and more particularly to single-mode optical fibers having a chlorine-doped core and a cladding surrounding the core with the cladding having offset trench regions optical fiber. Background technique [0003] There is a need for optical fibers with low bending losses, especially for use in so-called "access" and fiber-to-the-premises (FTTx) optical networks. Optical fibers may be deployed in such networks in such a way that they cause bending losses in the optical signals transmitted thro...
