Dispersion and Polarization in Optical Communications
Introduction to Dispersion and Polarization 1. Dispersion Dispersion occurs when light of different wavelengths travels at varying speeds through a medium, causing pulse broadening and signal distortion. This phenomenon can be classified into several types: Modal Dispersion – Common in multimode fibers, where multiple propagation paths exist. Light traveling near the fiber axis arrives sooner than […]
