ABSTRACT:
Optical waveguide fiber that is bend resistant and single moded at 1260 nm and at higher wavelengths. The optical fiber includes a core and cladding, the cladding having an annular inner region, an annular ring region, and an annular outer region. The annular ring region has a low relative refractive index.
