Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to an optical fiber for wavelength division multiplex transmission (WDM), in particular to an optical fiber for metropolitan systems and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique
[0002] Hitherto, as far as optical transmission using optical fibers is concerned, researches on techniques for increasing the transmission capacity have been made.
[0003] Since the transmission loss of optical fiber is generally the smallest near the wavelength of 1550nm, it is desired to use this wavelength band for light transmission, and a scatter conversion (dispersion shift) fiber (DSF) with zero scattering wavelength near the wavelength of 1550nm has been developed. Using this optical fiber, it is possible to perform optical transmission with a transmission capacity of several Gbps in the wavelength band of 1.55 μm.
[0004] Also, in recent years, research and development on wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical tra...
