Long wavelength fluoride optical glass fibers performance signature in high speed local area data networks

Abstract This paper has clarified long wavelength fluoride optical glass fibers performance signature in high speed local area data networks. The signal attenuation and the total fiber pulse broadening are studied versus network length for various fluoride optical glass fibers and AS 2 Se 3 glass fiber at various spectral wavelengths. The total signal delay time is demonstrated with fiber numerical aperture with 15 km network length for various fluoride optical glass fibers and AS 2 Se 3 glass fiber at 2.5 μm optimum spectral wavelength. Total fiber signal bandwidth, total Shannon channel bit rate, and NRZ/RZ channel data rate transmission are clarified with 15 km network length for various fluoride optical glass fibers and AS 2 Se 3 glass fiber at 2.5 μm optimum spectral wavelength.
