Abstract

An optical fiber for communications systems, the fiber being designed to ensure a compensation of Kerr effects. The fiber has a profile which ensures that changes in power produce changes in distribution of power between core and cladding, such that the phase change associated with the changed spatial distribution of the power, is equal and opposite to the phase change due to Kerr Effect.
