Title:
Optical fiber
Abstract:
A three-layer structure optical fiber comprises a first transparent dielectric core layer having a relatively high refractive index, a second transparent dielectric intermediate layer having a relatively low refractive index and a third transparent dielectric cladding layer having an intermediate refractive index wherein the parameter of the optical fiber is determined as follows: ##EQU1## where B is the bandwidth of the signal to be transmitted, z is the transmission distance, C is the velocity of light in vacuum, .eta.o is the refractive index of the core layer, q is the ratio of refractive indices between the core layer and second layer, V = normalized frequency, ##EQU2## p is the ratio of refractive index between the core layer and the third layer, and U.sub.11 =2,405.
