SAMPLE PROBLEMS – UNIT 2

An LED operating at 850 nm has a spectral width of 45 nm. What is the pulse
spreading in ns/km due to material dispersion in a silica fiber ? What is the pulse
spreading when a laser diode having a 2 nm spectral width is used ?

• Solution:

• | Dmat ( λ ) | at 850 nm = 100 ps / (nm.km) from graph

• L = 1 km

• σmat = σλ L | Dmat ( λ ) | = 4.5 ns / km for LED

• σmat = σλ L | Dm at ( λ ) |= 0.2 ns / km for LD


Calculate the waveguide dispersion at 1320 nm in units of
ps /(nm . km) for a single mode fiber with core and cladding diameters of 9 μm
and 125 μm, respectively. Let the core index n1 = 1.48 and the relative index
difference Δ = 0.22 %.

Solution:

• Dwg (λ ) = - n2 Δ V d2 (Vb)

A step-index single-mode fiber exhibits material dispersion of
6 ps nm-1 km-1 at an operation wavelength of 1.55 μm. Assume that n1 =

Consider an optical link consisting of a 5 Km long step index fiber with core index n 1 =
1.49 and relative index difference Δ = 1 %.

(a) Find the delay difference at the fiber end between the slowest and
the fastest modes and also the rms pulse broadening caused by
intermodal dispersion,
(b) If the fiber is coupled to an LED operating at 1550 nm having a 75 nm
spectral width, calculate the rms pulse spreading due to material
dispersion. Dmat = 20 ps / nm.Km,
(c) Calculate the rms pulse spreading due to waveguide dispersion if V d2(Vb) = 0.1

 =  (2mod + 2mat + 2wg ) ], that can be transmitted over the fiber

(ii) a graded index fiber having an optimum parabolic index profile and the
same n1 and Δ as in (i),
(iii) the same type of graded index fiber as in (ii) but with Δ = 0.5 %.
