Abstract
Some aspects of single-mode fiber research and development at Bell Laboratories are presented. The most recent evolution in single-mode fiber design and fabrication technology has resulted in a fiber in which mode size and zero dispersion wavelength can be independently chosen at a fixed cutoff wavelength.Keywords
