Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The present disclosure relates to the field of optical fibre transmission. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a bend insensitive optical fibre. The present application is based on, and claims priority from an Indian Application Number 202011035782 filed on Aug. 19, 2020, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein

DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART

With the advancement of science and technology, various modern technologies are being employed for communication purposes. One of the most important modern communication technologies is optical fibre communication technology using a variety of optical fibres. Optical fibre is used to transmit information as light pulses from one end to another. One such type of optical fibre is a single mode optical fibre. The single mode optical fibre is used in FTTx and long haul communication. The telecommunication industry is continuously striving for designs to achieve high data rate capacity and low losses. The ongoing research suggests that the single mode optical fibre of G657 and G652D category are used for FTTx and long-haul applications. The single mode optical fibre of G652D and G657 categories faces major challenges in FTTx and long haul communication respectively. G652D fibres faces major challenges in FTTx application due to good macro bend losses and G657 category fibres face major challenges in long haul applications due to high nonlinear effects as a result of low MFD. Also Low MFD in G657A2 in long haul communication results in a power penalty more than 1.5 decibel as compared to G652D.

The significantly matured G652.D category fibers have already taken millions of kms in current FTTX infrastructure. The one advantage that G652D has is its ultra-splicing capabilities but average macro-bending characteristics. To address the need to enhance the macro-bending, the G657A2 and G657A1 optical fibers have been developed and evolved. The replacement of G652.D fibers with G657.A2 or G657 A1 can be a solution. However, G657.A2 or G657 A1 has their own issues when it comes to splicing capabilities. It is usually noticed that there is a persisting problem of using G.657.A2 fibers, because of OTDR artifacts that occur when splicing them to standard single mode fibers i.e G.652D.

There is a need to develop an optical fiber that exhibits the properties of both G657A2 and G657D so as to achieve flexible splicing capability as well as good macro bend performance i.e easy splicing of G.657.A2/A1 with G.652.D. There is develop an optical fibre which would have an optimize design with good macro-bend characteristics, as well as is also compliant to current network installed G.652.D. For example, G657A2 has a mode field diameter is the range as same as mode field diameter as that of G.652.D.

In light of the above stated discussion, there is a need for a single mode optical fibre that overcomes the above sited drawbacks to use for FTTx as well as long haul and access networks.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure provides an optical fibre. The optical fibre includes a glass core and a glass cladding. The glass cladding surrounds the glass core. The glass cladding has an inner trench and an outer trench. The optical fibre has a mode field diameter in range of 8.7 microns to 9.7 microns at a wavelength of 1310 nanometer. The optical fibre has a macro-bend loss up to 0.5 decibel per turn corresponding to wavelength of 1550 nanometer at bending radius of 7.5 millimeter and up to 1.0 decibel per turn corresponding to wavelength of 1625 nanometer at bending radius of 7.5 millimeter.

A primary object of the present disclosure is to provide an optical fibre that exhibits optimized properties of both G657A2 and G657D so as to achieve flexible splicing capability as well as good macro bend performance.

Another object of the present disclosure is to provide the optical fibre with good macro-bend characteristics and a mode field diameter similar to that of G.652.D optical fiber to compliant to G.652.D network installed.

In an embodiment of the present invention, an optical fibre is having a glass core region defined by a core relative refractive index and is updoped, an inner glass cladding defined by an inner cladding relative refractive, an intermediate cladding defined by an intermediate cladding relative refractive index and an outer cladding defined by an outer cladding relative refractive index are relatively lightly down-doped from the glass core region and inner trench defined by an inner trench relative refractive index and outer trench defined by an outer trench relative refractive index are relatively more heavily down-doped from cladding regions.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the optical fibre having an inner trench and an outer trench separated by an intermediate cladding. Further, the inner trench, the outer trench and intermediate cladding having parameters (e.g., thickness, relative refractive index difference, and curve parameter) are chosen such that one or more fiber characteristics are improved.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the optical fiber parameters that can be improved by means of inner trench and outer trench are: the slope of the curve of chromatic dispersion vs. wavelength at the zero dispersion wavelength (it can be reduced); the spectral range over which the absolute value of the chromatic dispersion is less than a predetermined value (it can be increased); the maximum absolute value of the chromatic dispersion in a given spectral range (it can be decreased); the bending loss at a given bend radius (it can be decreased); the optical quality of the tube-derived material (a lossier, and therefore cheaper, material can be used); the dopant concentration in the core (it can be decreased, resulting typically in lower scattering); and the dependence of the zero dispersion wavelength on the core radius (it can be decreased, resulting in improved manufacturability).

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the intermediate cladding that is defined by an intermediate cladding relative refractive index and the inner trench that is defined by an inner trench relative refractive index. Further the transition of delta (Δ) of lower inner trench relative refractive index to higher intermediate cladding relative refractive index is designed and established to support the optical fibre having large mode filed diameter values. For example, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the optical fibre has a mode filed dimeter from 8.7 to 9.7 at a wavelength of 1310 nanometers.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the optical fibre design supports large mode filed dimeter is in the range of 8.7 to 9.7 having an attenuation of 0.18 dB/km at a wavelength of 1550 nm. Further the optical fibre supports macrobend performance that exceeds the G.657.A1 standard, and mode field diameter that matches G.652.D fiber resulting improved bend performance for access-network adaptability, and backward compatibility to previous G.652.D fibres.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the optical fibre reduce the adverse impacts of the large mode field diameter over the macro-bending bending loss at a given bend radius by optimizing the parameters related to the inner trench, the outer trench and the intermediate cladding. Further, the outer trench is designed to mitigate the adverse effects of the large mode filed diameter that impacts and escalate the macro-bend losses. The outer trench curve parameter is in the range of 3 to 8.

Although the discussion herein is generally in terms of an optical fiber with multiple trenches for example the inner trench and the outer trench of nominally rectangular cross section, designs that comprise more than two trenches are also contemplated. With such designs it may be possible to simultaneously advantageously affect more fiber characteristics than is possible with a single trench refractive index profile.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the inner trench and the outer trench need not have a nominally rectangular cross section but can have any other appropriate cross section (e.g., nominally trapezoidal).

In an embodiment of the present invention, the principal advantage of such the optical fiber structure is the ease of adjusting fiber characteristics by adjustment of trench (inner trench and outer trench) placement, trench (inner trench and outer trench) width, trench (inner trench and outer trench) relative refractive index, the intermediate cladding sandwiched between inner trench and outer trench, the adjustment of the width and relative refractive index of the intermediate cladding etc. It permits design of fibers for useful wavelengths (exemplarily the region around 1310 nanometers and/or 1550 nanometers) with excellent macro-bend characteristics without significant detrimental features.
