Silica-based optical fibers are the most important transmission medium for long-distance and large-capacity optical communication systems. The most distinguished feature of optical fiber is its low loss characteristics. A single-mode optical fiber (SMF) exhibits a very low transmission loss (0.142 dB/km) at 1.55 μm. Together with such low loss characteristics, zero chromatic dispersion near 1.55 μm is required for high capacity signal transmission. The zero-dispersion wavelength of optical fibers can be shifted to the vicinity of 1.55 μm by the mutual cancellation of material dispersion and waveguide dispersion. Such fibers are called dispersion-shifted fibers (DSFs). The unsteady-state thermal conduction process in several DSFs was studied theoretically by the explicit finite-difference method using the thermochemical SiOx production model. The calculated threshold power and velocity of fiber fuse propagation in a step-index SMF were in fair agreement with the experimental values observed at 1.55 μm. It was found that the calculated threshold powers were proportional to the effective cross sectional areas of several DSFs and there is a linear relationship between the threshold powers and the mode-field diameters in the range of up to 2 W. These results were in fair agreement with the experimental results observed at 1.55 μm.
