Optimized graded index two-mode optical fiber with low DMD, large A(eff) and low bending loss.

An optimized two-mode optical fiber (TMF) with the graded index (GI) profile is designed and fabricated. We clarify an appropriate region of GI-TMF satisfying DMD = 0 ps/km, the large effective area A(eff), and the low bending loss for LP(11) at 1550 nm. According to our fiber design, GI-TMF is successfully fabricated to have the large effective area A(eff) of 150 μm(2) for LP(01) mode, and low DMD below 36 ps/km including zero in the C-band. We expect that our design GI-TMF is suitable for MDM and can reduce MIMO-DSP complexity.
