Abstract :
Summary form only given. In this paper, we focus on design issues for non zero dispersion shifted (NZ-DSF) fibers with large effective areas. We quantify performances of various index profile designs on a theoretical basis. What is the maximum possible effective area to be expected given a specific bending loss and index profile shape.
