| 摘要 |
The present invention aims to provide a dispersion-shifted fiber which can effectively restrain nonlinear optical effects from occurring and has a configuration suitable for long-haul light transmission. The dispersion-shifted fiber has, as various characteristics at a wavelength of 1,550 nm, a dispersion level of 1.0 to 4.5 ps/nm/km in terms of absolute value, a dispersion slope not greater than 0.13 ps/nm2/km in terms of absolute value, an effective core cross-sectional area not less than 70 mum2, and a transmission loss not greater than 0.25 dB/km with respect to light in a 1.55-mum wavelength band.
