Presented at NOC/EC 2000 Splicing and Fiber Assembly Compatibility for Non-Zero Dispersion-Shifted Fiber and Standard Single-Mode Fiber Mary Adcox, Optical Fiber, Corning Incorporated As non-zero dispersion-shifted fibers (NZ-DSF) become more prevalent in the marketplace, system designers are interested in ensuring compatibility with the existing fiber plant. NZ-DS fibers, such as Corning LEAF fiber with large effective area, Corning SMF-LS fiber and Lucent Truewave fiber, are optimized for long distance, high data rate operation over the 1550 nm window. In this region, they have much lower dispersion than standard single-mode fiber. To obtain the desired dispersion and effective area properties, NZ-DS fibers are fabricated with more complex physical profiles than standard single mode fiber. Also, for SMF-LS and Truewave fibers, the effective area and corresponding mode field diameter values are smaller than for fibers with large effective area such as LEAF fiber (see Table 1). Because of these differences, NZ-DS fibers are effected more by critical parameters such as splicing conditions and procedures. To quantify this sensitivity and address compatibility with fiber assemblies such as pigtails and jumper cables, Corning Incorporated initiated a series of studies to compare NZ-DS fibers with single-mode fiber (SMF). How NZ-DS Fibers Compare With SMF Non-zero dispersion-shifted fibers are designed for multiple high bit-rate wavelengths in the 1550nm wavelength region over long system lengths. Single-mode fiber is optimized for use in the 1310 nm wavelength region, although 1550nm operation is possible at 10 gigabits per second but requires careful management of the dispersion. Table 1 summarizes some of the differences between the various fiber types: Table 1: Summary of the differences between the various fiber types
