Abstract
Introduction of single-mode fibers into subscriber loops is being studied from the viewpoint of technical feasibility.1 The technique of low-loss mass splicing is a major problem, and core eccentricity seems to limit the reduction of splice loss. We describe newly developed VAD single-mode fibers with ultimate tow-core eccentricity. Using the VAD process a core and a whole cladding have been synthesized with a high deposition rate.
