Title:
MULTICORE OPTICAL FIBER AND MULTICORE OPTICAL FIBER CABLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/198365
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An MCF cable according to an embodiment contains a plurality of MCFs each including at least one coupled core group and common cladding. Λ is set such that κ at a wavelength of 1550 nm is between 1 × 10-1 [m-1] and 1 × 103 [m-1], inclusive, and (βΛCavg) / (2κ) or (βΛCf) / (2κ) is set in a specific range between the wavelengths 1530 nm and 1625 nm, inclusive, where Cavg [m-1], Cf [m-1], ftwist [turn / m] represent the average of the curvature, the imaginary curvature, and the average torsion respectively for each MCF, and κ[m-1], β[m-1], Λ[m] represent the mode coupling coefficient between adjacent cores, the average of propagation constants, and the distance between core centers respectively.
