Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Disclosed is a single mode optical waveguide fiber designed for use in high performance telecommunication systems. The novel core profile design improves bending performance to provide enhanced resistance to adverse environments. Total dispersion over an extended wavelength window is maintained low by placing the zero dispersion wavelength above the upper limit of the operating window. In addition, cut off wavelength is increased to just below the operating window. Ease of manufacture is retained as is very low waveguide attenuation.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 5, 1998. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended June 5, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 5, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
