Abstract :
Dispersion-shifted single mode fibers have been fabricated with losses as low as 0.21 dB/km in the zero-dispersion region ( 
m). Low-loss (average = 0.06-dB) fusion splices have been made with the chlorine-hydrogen flame fusion technique. The recoated splices show strengths in excess of 300 kpsi. The fibers have been incorporated into a cable structure with negligible change in loss.
