<p>Disclosed is a single mode optical waveguide fiber having a relatively large effective area and good bend resistance. The waveguide fiber is characterized by a segmented core having a central segment (30) and at least one annular segment (32, 34, 36) surrounding the central segment. At least one segment has a negative relative refractive index where the reference refractive index is taken as the index of the cladding. The total dispersion of the fiber is positive for wavelengths above about 1500 nm, dispersion slope is typically less than about 0.08 ps/nm 2-km, and induced attenuation under pin array bend testing is typically less than 5 dB/km.</p> |
