What are the factors responsible for optical signal attenuation and dispersion during signal propagation through optical fiber?
1 Answer
written 7.9 years ago by |
An optical signal becomes increasingly distorted as it travels along the fiber.
I. Dispersion:
Dispersion is the broadening of actual time-width of the pulse due to material properties and imperfections.
As pulse travels down the fiber, dispersion causes pulse spreading. This limits the distance travelled by the pulse and the …
