Abstract

Dispersion flattened fibers (DFF) with dispersion slope of +0.026 ps/km/nm² and Aeff of 50 m² were designed and fabricated taking bending loss and their productivity into account, and attenuation as low as 0.21 dB/km was successfully realized. The fiber structure of DFF more practically feasible is theoretically explored taking A_eff, bending loss performance into account as well as dispersion characteristics. The VAD technique is employed to manufacture the fiber for the advantage of productivity in mass production
