Abstract :
Summary form only given. In summary, we have designed and fabricated single mode dispersion-shifted fibers, using the dual-ring index profile, with effective area as large as 90 /spl mu/m/sup 2/. The large effective area can greatly reduce the performance degradation caused by fiber nonlinearities for long-haul terrestrial and submarine applications. Furthermore, these fibers show lower bending losses than standard step-index single-mode fibers.
