Optical fiber communicationsThe third edition of this popular text and reference book presents the fundamental principles for understanding and applying optical fiber technology to sophisticated modern telecommunication systems.. Optical-fiber-based telecommunication networks have become a major information-transmission-system, with high capacity links encircling the globe in both terrestrial and undersea installations. Numerous passive and active optical devices within these links perform complex transmission and networking functions in the optical domain, such as signal amplification, restoration, routing, and switching. Along with the need to understand the functions of these devices comes the necessity to measure both component and network performance, and to model and stimulate the complex behavior of reliable high-capacity networks. |

therefore, often referred to as chromatic dispersion. Since intramodal dispersion
depends on the wavelength, its effect on signal distortion increases with the
spectral width of the optical source. This spectral width is the band of
wavelengths ...

In any real system the output beam spreads out because of the finite size of the
light source and the angular dispersion resulting from the wavelength spread of
the source spectral width. The fractional increase S in the beam diameter is ...
