Abstract
The structural design, bending loss, and dispersion characteristics of the dual shape core (DSC) single-mode fiber with zero dispersion at 1.55 μm are described. It is clarified that the bending loss of the DSC fiber is less than one tenth of that of a step-index fiber, and that the dispersion sensitivity due to a small change of the core radius is less than half of that of a step-index fiber. The explanation for the small bending loss is presented. A greater reduction of bending loss is expected from the replacement of the center core profile with a Gaussian or triangular profile.Keywords
