    What Is Chromatic Dispersion

    Uploaded by

    Nishad Patil
    Chromatic dispersion occurs in optical fibers when different wavelengths of light travel at different speeds, causing light pulses to broaden as they travel through the fiber. It is caused by both material dispersion, where the refractive index of the material depends on wavelength, and waveguide dispersion, which depends on the fiber's refractive index profile. Chromatic dispersion can be compensated for by using dispersion compensating fiber modules, which have large negative dispersion to correct for the positive dispersion in other fibers in the link.

    What is Chromatic dispersion

    What is Chromatic dispersion


    Chromatic dispersion (CD) occurs because a light pulse is made up of different wavelengths, each travelling at different speeds down the fiber. These different speeds broaden the light pulse when it arrives at the Rx. Reducing OSNR and increasing bit errors.

    Chromatic Dispersion Features

    Cause of Chromatic Dispersion (CD)


    Two effects contribute to the total Chromatic dispersion (CD) in Fiber:
    1) Material dispersion 2) Waveguide dispersion Material dispersion A laser pulse when launched actually contains a continuum of wavelength in a small range. The index of refraction of a material is dependent on Wavelength, so each frequency component travels are a slightly different speed. As a result as the distance increased the pulse becomes broader. Disadvantage. Material dispersion limits how much data can be sent as the pulse will over lap and The information will be lost

    Cause of Chromatic Dispersion (CD)


    Waveguide dispersion Waveguide dispersion depends upon the refractive index profile and this part can be engineered to allow manufacture specialty fibers with specific dispersion profiles. It cause because only part of the optical power propagates along a fiber is confined to core. Means a fraction of the light power propagating in the cladding travels faster than the light confined to the core

    Dispersion Compensation
    CD is stable , predictable and controllable. Dispersion compensating fiber (DC Fiber) has large negative dispersion -85 ps/(nm.Km) DC fiber modules correct for chromatic dispersion in the link.
