Abstract: Dispersion-flat fibers are very attractive for long distance high-bit optical fiber communication systems. This paper discusses the theory of the quadruple-clad single-mode fibers, and describes their design and performance. The initial experimental results, concerning a fiber with low dispersion over the 1.3μm -1.55μm wavelength interval are presented.

Key words: optical fibers, design
