Abstract
We have studied a specific type of hole-assisted fibers (HAFs) for parallel
transmission systems. A fiber ribbon using HAFs will be suitable for parallel
transmission systems when used in a small space. Additional skew occurs when
a fiber ribbon is used under nonuniform stress environment. We focus on stress-induced
group delay variations. Influence of fiber parameters, such as a core diameter
2a and a relative refractive index
difference $\Delta,$ on stress-induced group delay variations is investigated using
a finite-element method. We also study the influence of hole-structure variations.
