  • Publication number: 20140178019
    Abstract: In an optical cable 1, the ratio of the inner diameter ID to the outer diameter OD of a tube 20 is 0.5 or less, and thus the tube 20 has a comparatively thick wall. Consequently, even when the optical cable 1 is bent to a small bend radius of, for example, approximately 2 mm, a kink in a portion of the tube 20 corresponding to the inner side of the bending is suppressed. As a result, damage to a coated optical fiber 10 or an increase in transmission loss arising from the occurrence of a kink in the tube 20 is suppressed.

  • Publication number: 20130084048
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-mode optical fiber having a structure to reduce the numerical aperture at the emission end of the multi-mode optical fiber having a length for which practical use is assumed. The multi-mode optical fiber comprises a core portion, a trench portion, and a cladding portion. The multi-mode optical fiber is designed such that the numerical aperture at the emission end thereof is reduced as the fiber length increases, and moreover such that the numerical aperture of the multi-mode optical fiber having a length for which practical use is assumed satisfies a specific condition. By this means, the numerical aperture at the emission end of the multi-mode optical fiber can be kept small, and coupling efficiency of the multi-mode optical fiber with other optical components is drastically improved.
