34 intermodal dispersion, limits the bandwidth, or rate at which individual pulses can be
injected into the transmission medium and still be individually detected without overlapping …

The wavelength of minimum dispersion of monomode fibers is shown to depend on the
refractive properties of the core glass as well as of the cladding glass and on the fiber …

Because optical fibers that propagate one mode only are now the most likely candidate for
future long-distance high-capacity communication, there is great interest in their light …

The extent to which glass fibres can be considered useful as optical waveguides can mainly
be derived from a study of their pulse dispersion [11. A shortduration light pulse propagating …

We review the causes of pulse broadening in multimode fibers with special emphasis on the
importance of designing and producing fibers whose refractive index profiles conform to a …

Since the successful fabrication of the first low-loss fiber in 1970, optical fiber
communications have evolved rapidly through three system generations (Henry, 1985). The …

Dispersion in optical fibres is an important characteristic of the fibre which determines the
information carrying capacity and also the repeater spacing. In this paper, a unified …

The transparency of glass fibers in the visible and near infrared—improved beyond all
expectations by recent breakthroughs—seems now sufficient to transmit optical signals …
