The cladding region surrounds the core region and includes an inner cladding directly adjacent to the core region, an outer cladding surrounding the inner cladding, and a trench region disposed between the inner cladding and the outer cladding in a radial direction. The trench region has a volume of about 30% Δ-micronor greater. Additionally, the optical fiber has an effective area at 1550 nm of about 100 micronor less.
