Patent number: 9366811Abstract: A highly nonlinear optical fiber having an improved stimulated Brillouin scattering threshold is provided. The fiber includes a central core region made substantially from silica doped with aluminum, a trench region surrounding the central core region, and a silica cladding surrounding the trench region. The refractive index profile of the fiber is optimized. A refractive index difference of the central core region relative to the cladding (?n+) is less than 26×10?3, and more preferably at or near 21×10?3. A refractive index difference of the trench region relative to the cladding (?n?) is less than ?5×10?3. The trench region is preferably doped with fluorine. The aluminum doping level of the central core region is preferably less than 14 wt % Al. A fiber doped with aluminum having this refractive index profile exhibits a significantly higher figure of merit (Pth?Leff) than conventional germanium-doped fibers.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2013Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: OFS FITEL, LLCInventors: Lars Gruner-Nielsen, Soren Herstrom, Dan Peter Jakobsen, Bera Palsdottir
