Abstract
A single mode optical waveguide fiber having a positive total dispersion is disclosed. The novel waveguide fiber has a core region comprising three distinct segments. Studies of this novel waveguide, wherein properties are calculated as various ones of the core region parameters are changed, show that the waveguide satisfies the requirements of a fiber in a high bit rate, long regenerator spacing system. The novel waveguide design is relatively simple to manufacture and maintains its functional properties at tight tolerances when the core region parameters are varied over a prescribed range. This high performance waveguide limits self phase modulation and four wave mixing, facilitates wavelength division multiplexing, and is compatible with optical amplifiers.
