Abstract
A single mode dispersion and dispersion slope compensating optical fiber includes a central core segment, a depressed moat segment, an annular ring segment, and a cladding layer. Each of the segments of the fiber have a relative refractive index that are selected to provide negative dispersion at a wavelength of within the range of about 1530 nm to about 1620 nm, negative dispersion slope at a wavelength of within the range of about 1530 nm to about 1620 nm, a kappa value of within the range of 40 to about 60 at a wavelength of about 1550 nm, and a fiber cut-off wavelength of less than about 1650 nm, and more preferably less than 1550 nm.
