Abstract
An optical fiber in which propagation is monomode propagation when incorporated into a cable has, at a wavelength of 1 550 nm, a chromatic dispersion from 3 ps/(nm.km) to 14 ps/(nm.km) and an absolute value of chromatic dispersion slope less than 0.014 ps/(nm .km), and, at a wavelength of 1 625 nm, bending losses measured for a 10 mm radius less than 400 dB/m. The proposed criteria allow use of the fiber over a wide band of wavelengths in a wavelength division multiplex transmission system. The low chromatic dispersion slope simplifies the management of chromatic dispersion in the transmission system.
