Abstract

The fiber is adapted to compensation of the chromatic dispersion and chromatic dispersion slope of an optical fiber with negative chromatic dispersion. It has, in a propagation mode other than the fundamental mode, a positive chromatic dispersion and a negative chromatic dispersion slope. The fiber can be used in compensation dispersion modules or as line fiber, in transmission systems using line fiber with negative chromatic dispersion.

Claims (12)

1. An optical fibre having, for a predetermined wavelength value and in a propagation mode other than the fundamental mode:

a positive chromatic dispersion;

a negative chromatic dispersion slope, wherein it has, for the predetermined wavelength, a ratio of chromatic dispersion to chromatic dispersion slope between −90 and −20 nm.

2. The fibre according to claim 1 , wherein the propagation mode is a mode with circular symmetry.

3. The fibre according to claim 1 , wherein it has, in the propagation mode, an effective area greater than or equal to 50 μm 2 .

4. The fibre according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined wavelength is equal to 1550 nm.

5. The fibre according to claim 1 , wherein it has, for the predetermined wavelength, a chromatic dispersion greater than or equal to 4 ps/(nm.km).

6. The fibre according to claim 1 , wherein it has, for the predetermined wavelength, a ratio of chromatic dispersion to chromatic dispersion slope less than or equal to −1 nm.

7. The fibre according to claim 6 , wherein it has, for the predetermined wavelength, a chromatic dispersion slope less than or equal to −0.1 ps/(nm 2 .km).

8. The fibre according to claim 6 , wherein it has, for the predetermined wavelength, a chromatic dispersion slope preferably less than or equal to −0.5 ps/(nm 2 .km).

9. The fibre according to claim 1 , wherein it has, for the predetermined wavelength, a rectangular index profile with a sunken trench and a ring.

10. The fibre according to claim 1 , wherein it has, for the predetermined wavelength, a chromatic dispersion greater than or equal to 10 ps/(nm.km).
