EE 230: Optical Fiber Communication Lecture 4 Fiber Dispersion From the movie Warriors of the Net
Types of Dispersion • Modal dispersion: different modes propagate at different group velocities • Material dispersion: the index of refraction of the medium changes with wavelength • Waveguide dispersion: index change across waveguide means that different wavelengths have different delays • Polarization mode dispersion: if waveguide is birefringent

Polarization Mode Dispersion Polarization Maintaining Fiber Non-Polarization Maintaining Fiber Random power transfer occurs between different polarization modes as the pulse propagates, if the two modes have different propagation velocities then the pulse will broaden
Dispersion Shifted and Dispersion Flattened Fibers Chromatic Dispersion Parameters of a singlemode fiber • Waveguide Dispersion mechanism • As l Ý,Mode field diameter Ý • More of the mode travels in the cladding. • Cladding index is lower so pulse velocity Ý • resulting in dispersion ß Fundamentals of Photonics - Saleh and Teich
Propagation of Gaussian Pulses Input Pulse Output Pulse chirped and broadened b2<0 for standard single mode silica fiber and Ld ~ 1800 km at 2.5 Gb/s and ~115 km at 10 Gb/s Upon further propagation the pulse will continue to broaden and acquire chirp. Input Pulse Already Positively Chirped After some distance the chirp is removed and the pulse assumes its minimum possible width Optical Networks a Practical Perspective-Ramaswami and Sivarajan
