Using the exact vector form solution of Maxwell’s equations for optical waveguides we calculated the wavelengths for zero total dispersion λ_ӄ based on measured profiles of preforms and fibers that were subsequently drawn to 125-µm diam. To check the reproducibility of the same kinds of preform as well as for the collection of samples, four depressed clad single-mode preforms and ten selected pieces of the drawn fibers were used for this study. It was found that the calculated λ_ӄ values agree well with the experimental results.
