ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an optical fiber which enables favorable optical communications in 1.3-μm and 1.55-μm wavelength bands, and an optical transmission system including the same. The optical fiber according to the present invention has only one zero-dispersion wavelength within a wavelength range of 1.20 μm to 1.60 μm, the zero-dispersion wavelength existing within a wavelength range of 1.37 μm to 1.50 μm , and has a positive dispersion slope at the zero-dispersion wavelength, thereby enabling favorable optical communications utilizing each signal light in the 1.3-μm and 1.55-μm wavelength bands sandwiching the zero-dispersion wavelength.
