  • Abstract
    Independent of the actual index profile of a single-cladded dispersion-shifted single-mode fiber, it is shown that the loss components given in the headline at the zero dispersion wavelength λ0accurately can be obtained by simple expressions that only depend on the Laplace spot size value at λ0. With \\lambda _{0} = 1.55 \\mu m, these relations are used to estimate and minimize the total loss in single-cladded dispersion-shifted fibers with arbitrary core-index profiles.
