BEND INSENSITIVE OPTICAL FIBER WITH IMPROVED HYDROGEN RESISTANCE

摘要

An optical fiber includes: a core including a photosensitive material disposed therein, the core having a first index of refraction; a depressed cladding surrounding the core and having a second index of refraction that is lower than the first index of refraction; and an outer cladding surrounding the depressed cladding and having a third index of refraction that is higher than the depressed cladding.
