Abstract
The present invention relates to a multi-core optical fiber having a plurality of cores (102) and a cladding (108) surrounding the plurality of cores (102). The cladding (108) has a peripheral cladding layer (108b) that is down doped such that a leakage loss of the multi-core optical fiber (100) is less than 0.001 Decibel/Kilometer (dB/Km) at a wavelength 1550 nanometers (nm).
Claims20
A multi-core optical fiber (100) comprising:
- a plurality of cores (102);
- a cladding (108) that surrounds the plurality of cores (102), wherein the cladding (108) comprising a peripheral cladding layer (108b),
- wherein the peripheral cladding layer (108b) is down doped such that a leakage loss of the multi-core optical fiber (100) is less than 0.001 dB/Km at a wavelength 1550 nm.
A multi-core optical fiber cable (120) incorporates one or more multi-core optical fiber ribbon (122) in which a plurality of multi-core optical fibers (100) are intermittently bonded, and the multi-core optical fiber ribbon (122) is incorporated with spirally twisted.
