Corning® Vascade® optical fibers - CORNING Telecommunications - #4

Dispersion-managed solution designed for long and high capacity systems, utilizing Vascade L1000 and Vascade S1000 fibers.

Vascade R1000 Fiber Solution Coming's Vascade R1000 dispersion-managed fiber (DMF) solution combines Vascade L1000 and Vascade S1000 fibers in a single span, offering higher capacity and closer channel spacing than is possible with any other solution. By adjusting the ratio of the constituent fibers, spans of Vascade Riooo fiber solution are manufactured to meet individual customer dispersion requirements. By careful fiber selection, Corning maintains an average dispersion slope that is typically <0.005 ps/nm²/km when the dispersion is compensated back to zero. This is an order of magnitude better that can be achieved using traditional NZ-DSF. The same attributes that maximize system performance also significantly reduce the complexity and cost of terminal dispersion compensation and provide an ideal platform for upgrades to next generation technologies.

A hybrid solution for moderate and longer distance repeatered systems.

The wider system bandwidth required to accommodate the larger number of channels on repeatered submarine systems has increased the importance of minimizing the dispersion slope to ensure good edge channel performance. Vascade LEAF fiber is used near the transmitter, where its large effective area is advantaged by the power levels. The remainder of the span uses Vascade LS+ fiber to obtain an overall span with a reduced dispersion slope (typically <0.085 ps/nm²/km).
