Patent number: 6729777Abstract: A method of splicing optical fibers is provided to reduce the splicing loss of the first and second optical fibers having different MFDs from each other. In a pre-fusion heating step, the MFD at the adjacent end face of the optical fiber having larger MFD is enlarged by heating a portion including the adjacent end face thereof so as to diffuse a dopant. After the pre-fusion heating step, fusion-splicing of the first and the second optical fibers is performed. Thereafter, during the post-fusion heating step, the dopant is diffused by heating a portion including the fusion-spliced part between the first and the second optical fibers.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2001Date of Patent: May 4, 2004Assignee: Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Takatoshi Kato, Tomonori Kashiwada, Keiichiro Fukuda, Noriko Iwata

Patent number: 6644870Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical fiber transmission line having a structure offering superior connection loss characteristics at the fusion-spliced position between optical fibers. This optical fiber transmission line has at least first and second optical fibers that are fusion-spliced. Each of these first and second optical fibers has a core region doped with 10 mol % or more of Ge and has a mode field diameter with a minimum value of 7 &mgr;m or less at the wavelength of 1550 nm. The difference between the minimum mode diameter of the first optical fiber and that of the second optical fiber is 1 &mgr;m or less.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2002Date of Patent: November 11, 2003Assignee: Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Noriko Iwata, Takatoshi Kato, Keiichiro Fukuda

Patent number: 6597846Abstract: An optical fiber (1) which does not readily suffer influences of side pressures and can realize superior transmission characteristics, having a glass part (2, 3) having a core (2) and at least one cladding (3) and at least one covering layer (4a, 4b) formed around the glass part (2, 3), characterized in that the Young's modulus at 23° C. of the covering layer (4) without the glass part (2, 3) is not greater than 400 MPa. The Young's modulus measurement of the covering layer (4) is obtained by removing the glass part (2, 3) from the optical fiber (1) and putting the covering layer (4) to a tensile test.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2001Date of Patent: July 22, 2003Assignee: Sumitomo Electric Industries Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Fujii, Toshifumi Hosoya, Kenji Tamano, Keiichiro Fukuda, Eisuke Sasaoka, Shigeru Tanaka, Kohei Kobayashi
