Résumé
Abstract

Les fibres optiques interviennent désormais partout dans les réseaux de télécommunication. L'un des changements le plus notable dans ce domaine est l'intérêt croissant depuis le début du siècle pour amener la fibre jusque la maison (FTTH), soit un remplacement du cuivre par la fibre dans les réseaux d'accès afin que l'abonné soit littéralement connecté optiquement. Cela a donné naissance à une nouvelle catégorie de fibres optiques monomodes, les fibres dites insensibles aux courbures, et a représenté l'un des axes principaux de développement des fabricants de fibres optiques depuis 5 ans. Parallèlement, des évolutions clés ont également eu lieu dans le domaine des transmissions de données avec la décision de créer, à la fin de cette décennie, une nouvelle génération de hiérarchie Ethernet permettant d'interfacer des équipements à des débits de 40 et 100 Gb/s. Cela a motivé des travaux récents sur les fibres optiques nécessaires pour véhiculer l'information entre ces équipements.

Optical fibers can now be encountered anywhere in a telecommunication network. In that field, one of the major changes that occurred, at the turn of the Century, is the growing interest in Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) architectures, that is, optical fibers replacing copper in access networks to directly connect subscribers. This gave birth to a new category of single mode fibers referred to as bend-insensitive fibers, which has represented one of the major development focus of optical fiber manufacturers for the last 5 years. In parallel, key evolutions also took place in data communications with the decision to create, at the end of this decade, the next generation Ethernet hierarchy for equipment interfaces at rates of 40 and 100 Gb/s. This is driving recent research on fibers to be used to transport such high-rate signals between these equipments.
