ABSTRACT:
The dispersion managed optical fiber (1) far use in wavelength division multiplex transmission networks includes longitudinally alternating positive and negative chromatic dispersion optical fiber portions and includes a core having a varying index profile and a cladding having a constant index. Each optical fiber portion (T+, T−) has at a wavelength of 1550 nm a chromatic dispersion whose absolute value is from 1 ps
m.km to 10 ps
m.km, a chromatic dispersion slope whose absolute value is less than 0.015 ps
m2.km, and an effective area greater than 35 μm2. The relative effective area difference at a wavelength of 1550 nm between the positive and negative chromatic dispersion optical fiber portions is less than 7%, and each optical fiber portion (T+, T−) has bending losses at a wavelength of 1625 nm less than 0.1 dB for 100 turns with a diameter of 60 mm.
