	Module 1-8. Fiber Optic Telecommunications (E-VI)
		Modal dispersion is defined as pulse spreading caused by the time delay between lower-order modes (modes or rays propagating straight through the fiber close to the optical axis) and higher-order modes (modes propagating at steeper angles).
		Modal dispersion is problematic in multimode fiber, causing bandwidth limitation, but it is not a problem in single-mode fiber where only one mode is allowed to propagate.
		Waveguide dispersion is due to the physical structure of the waveguide.

	Dispersion
		Material dispersion occurs because the spreading of a light pulse is dependent on the wavelengths' interaction with the refractive index of the fiber core.
		Waveguide dispersion occurs because the mode propagation constant (andbeta;) is a function of the size of the fiber's core relative to the wavelength of operation.
		As the length of the fiber increases, modal dispersion increases.

	Fiber Optical Communications
		Dispersion causes transmitted pulses to spread and overlap as they travel along a fiber, limiting the; maximum transmission rate.
		The optical fiber causes dispersion, and the term chromatic dispersion is used to relate the spectral width of the source to the properties of the fiber.
		Chromatic dispersion is defined as the extent to which light pulses are spread for a specific source linewidth in an optical fiber due to the different group velocities of the different wavelengths within the source spectrum.

	TRANSMISSION MODES (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The effect of modal dispersion may be minimised by choosing an optical transmitter that emits a narrow, parallel beam, ie a laser.
		Modal dispersion is not the only bandwidth limiting effect present in optical fibres.
		At wavelengths in the 1300nm region, dispersion is particularly low, being effectively zero at 1310nm as a result of the cancelling effect of waveguide dispersion and material dispersion.

		Multimode fiber can be optimized to reduce modal dispersion using a graded refractive index profile in which the refractive index of the core glass decreases slowly as a function of the radial distance from the center of the fiber.
		The primary bandwidth-limiting effect for singlemode fiber is chromatic dispersion, the spectral spreading of an optical pulse.
		The negative dispersion generates pulse compression at the beginning of the signal path, and leads to path lengths exceeding 300 km for DM laser signals.

	Dispersion (optics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thus, blue light (higher index) will be bent more strongly than red light (lower index), resulting in the well-known rainbow pattern.
		Recently, an alternative to prisms and gratings has been developped: chirped dispersive mirrors.
		The coating layers can be tailored to achieve a net negative dispersion.

	Dispersion (optics)
		In optics, dispersion is a phenomenon that causes the separation of a wave into components with different frequencies, due to a dependence of the wave's speed on its frequency.
		Another possible option is to use soliton pulses, a form of optical pulse which uses a nonlinear optical effect to self-maintain its shape.
		A pair of prismss can be arranged to produce net negative dispersion, which can be used to balance the usually positive dispersion of the laser medium.

		Modal dispersion is the main limiting factor for transmitting higher data rates on step index fibre.

		In the case of a graded index multimode fiber, the index of refraction across the core is gradually changed from a maximum at the center to a minimum near the edges, hence the name graded index.
		Dispersion shifted fiber was developed with a zero-dispersion wavelength at 1550 nm.
		Non-linearities of the dispersion shifted fiber are greatly reduced by suppressing the zero-dispersion wavelength within the operational 1550 nm window.

	Pulse Spreading (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Chromatic dispersion is the variation of refractive index with the wavelength (or the frequency) of the light.
		But chromatic dispersion can be reduced by careful design of the chemical composition of the glass.
		This way, although the paths are different lengths, all the modes travel the length of the fibre in tandem, i.e., they all reach the end of the fibre at the same time.

		This month, we'll talk about total internal reflection, numerical aperture, chromatic and modal dispersion and the various types of optical fibers in use today.
		Modal dispersion is a major factor in determining the design of optical networks-even in the design of fibers.
		This results in high levels of modal dispersion (pulse spreading due to path losses).

	Bandwidth
		Dispersion reduces the bandwidth, or information-carrying capacity, of an optical fiber.
		Multimode fiber bandwidth is a measure of the intermodal dispersion of the multimode fiber.
		The second technique characterizes modal dispersion by measuring the baseband Frequency response H(f) of the fiber in the frequency domain.

	Fiber-Optic Cable (Linktionary term)
		Dispersion can help reduce an effect called four-wave mixing (FWM), which occurs in DWDM systems when three wavelengths mix in such a way to produce a fourth wavelength that overlays and interferes with the original signals.
		Another characteristic is dispersion, which is the broadening of a light pulse as it travels down the cable.
		Waveguide dispersion This dispersion occurs in single-mode fiber due to the difference in the speed of the signal between the core and the cladding.

	50 Micron Fiber
		Modal dispersion is the principal bandwidth-limiting factor in multimode fiber.
		The smaller 50 µm core allows fewer modes of light to travel down the fiber, resulting in less modal dispersion.
		The inherently lower modal dispersion in 50 µm fiber results in higher bandwidth.

		In optical fiber communications systems, single-mode guidance avoids the problem of modal dispersion, which (in multi-mode fibers) would lead to the occurrence of multiple copies of the input signals at the receiver.
		In general, the temporal and spectral shape of a short optical pulse changes during propagation in a transparent medium due to the Kerr effect and dispersion.
		Of special interest are photonic crystal fibers, mainly due to their unusual dispersion characteristics, which can allow a strong nonlinear interaction over a significant length of fiber.

		GI fiber virtually eliminates modal dispersion by gradually decreasing the RI out toward the cladding where the modes are longest.
		With modal noise, the fiber and connectors interact so that there are power fluctuations at the receivers.
		With a single mode, many multimode problems, such as modal noise and modal dispersion, are no longer an issue.

	Polarization mode dispersion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wikimedia needs your help in its 21-day fund drive.
		Polarization mode dispersion (PMD) is a form of modal dispersion where two different polarizations of light in a waveguide, which normally travel at the same speed, travel at different speeds due to random imperfections and asymmetries, causing random spreading of optical pulses.
		Unless it is compensated, which is difficult, this ultimately limits the rate at which data can be transmitted over a fiber.

		Since light is dispersed over long distances, the pulses of light will change as they travel along the fibre.
		This is due to the fact that the different colours in white light will travel at different speeds.
		Distance limit: Since light is dispersed more as the fibre optic cable becomes longer, the bandwidth is reduced as the distance is increased.
