摘要 |
The present invention relates to a dispersion-shifted optical fiber suitable for an optical transmission line having an optical fiber amplifier with a wider amplification band. In particular, the dispersion-shifted optical fiber according to the present invention has a zero-dispersion wavelength of 1610 nm or more but 1750 nm or less, and a cutoff wavelength of 1.1 mum or more at a length of 2 m in order to suppress the bending loss to a practically permissible range, and has, with respect to light having a wavelength of 1550 nm, an effective area of 45 mum2 or more and a dispersion slope of 0.15 ps/nm2/km or less in order to suppress the occurrence of nonlinear phenomena.
