Abstract
A dispersive optical fiber having variable core-cladding refractive index differences depending on wavelength is provided. The dispersive optical fiber includes a core made of silica doped with a first dispersive material, and a cladding made of silica doped with a second dispersive material, wherein the refractive indices of the first and the second dispersive materials cross each other at a predetermined cross wavelength. The first and second dispersive materials include boron and fluorine. The dispersive optical fiber is attained by doping each dispersive material into the core and the cladding, respectively, thereby minimizing transmission loss, and is capable of being coupled to general optical fibers.
