Dispersion and Polarization in Optical Communications
Optical communication relies on precise transmission of digital pulses (“0”s and “1”s). Dispersion and polarization-related distortions can compromise signal integrity, raise the bit error rate, or even cause
Chromatic Dispersion
Dispersion causes a light pulse to spread in time as it travels through a fiber. This spreading increases the potential for interference between sequential pulses. Pulses launched close together (high bit
