As data rates in optical networks increase, designers need to pay increasing attention to peculiarities in the fiber-optic medium.One of the most important of these peculiarities is dispersion, ...

Researchers at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine have demonstrated that wavelength-dependent changes in the spatial distribution of light transmitted through a multimode optical fiber are not ...

A good dose of electronic dispersion compensation will open your eyes to 10 Gb/s Ethernet's possibilities. Because the wiring plant represents a large part of a network's cost, achieving higher data ...

A singlemode optical fiber designed to reduce chromatic dispersion. The fiber core is fabricated in several layers with different refractive indices running in parallel throughout its length.

As the demand for bandwidth and high-speed transport grows, so does the use of fiber-optic based transport. One of the enabling technologies associated with optical transport are Fiber Bragg gratings ...
