随着光纤到户网络建设的增加，要求光纤电缆更容易处理并且需要更少的空间。在这种情况下，强烈要求允许小弯曲半径的单模光纤（SMF）。在本文中，我们提出并展示了一种新型的弯曲不敏感单模多孔光纤，它具有一个掺杂的核心和两层不同的空气孔直径的孔。该光纤在1.55 μ m处的模场直径为9.3 μ m，截止波长低于1.1 μ m，在1.55 μ m处，弯曲半径为5 mm时的弯曲损耗为0.011 dB/圈，每次熔接到传统SMF时的接合损耗低至0.08 dB。(C)2005年，美国光学学会。
As the fiber-to-the-home network construction increased, optical fiber cables are demanded to be easier to handle and require less space. Under this situation, a single mode fiber (SMF) permitting small bending radius is strongly requested. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a novel type of bending-insensitive single-mode holey fiber that has a doped core and two layers of holes with different air-hole diameters. The fiber has a mode field diameter of 9.3 mu m at 1.55 mu m and a cutoff wavelength below 1.1 mu m, and shows a bending loss of 0.011 dB/turn at 1.55 mu m for a bending radius of 5 mm and a low splice loss of 0.08 dB per fusion-splicing to a conventional SMF.
