Characteristics of dispersion free single-mode fibers in the wavelength regions 1.5 and 1.3 μm are compared experimentally and theoretically. We consider the influence of the refractive index profile on dispersion, the tolerance limits of structure parameters for minimum dispersion, attainable fiber bandwidth, and transmission loss including splicing and bending losses. For a fiber designed for minimum dispersion at 1.5 μm, the measured fiber loss was less than 1 dB/km and bandwidth was 250 GHz. km. nm. The achievable minimum loss estimation shows the advantage of dispersion free fibers at the 1.5 μm wavelength over dispersion free fibers at 1.3 μm.
