HIGH BANDWIDTH MULTIMODE OPTICAL FIBER OPTIMIZED FOR MULTIMODE AND SINGLE-MODE TRANSMISSIONS

摘要

An optical fiber comprising an optical core and an optical cladding surrounding the optical core is proposed, wherein the optical core has a graded refractive index profile of minimum refractive index n ₁ and maximum refractive index n ₀ , wherein the optical fiber has the formula C = NA-0.02 xa Having a numerical aperture (NA) and an optical core radius (a) satisfying the optical communication quality criteria (C) defined by Δ, and Δ is a normalized refractive index difference, and the minimum refractive index n ₁ and the maximum refractive index n ₀ and the optical Core radius NA 0.20, a 10 μm and | C | Selected to be 0.20.
