Abstract
Loss and dispersion are the major issues that need to be optimized for sustainable and effective optical communication. The lowest loss wavelength and best dispersion-managed wavelength are partially conjugated by dispersion shifted fiber (DSF), dispersion flattened fiber (DFF), and different modulation techniques. In search of further simple and effective alternatives to compensate for both the loss and dispersion of optical fiber, we have considered some commercially available optical fiber friendly materials like pure SiO2, B2O3, P2O5 and GeO2 doped SiO2 along with some popular fluoride glass combinations known as ZBLAN, HBL, ABCY, ZBLA, ZBG. Our study on material dispersion of some pure and doped materials has brought out some exciting results regarding the optimized loss-dispersion conjugation. It is observed that the systematic applications of the compositions can replace the existing DSF and DFF. At the same time, the efficiency of DSF and DFF can be increased by using these fiber materials as well. The technique can be used to boost the efficiency of existing loss-dispersion management systems by selectively replacing the materials of those systems. Our significant report on the fundamental properties of various fibers and their materials has a visionary direction toward loss-dispersion management.
