Dispersion at a glance dr. ved nath jha
1. Machine age, information age and Quantum age of dispersion
1. Splitting of white light into its constituent colors
due to the refractive index of the surface and the wavelength of the light.
2. In optics, dispersion is the phenomenon in which the phase velocity of a wave depends
on its frequency. Media having this common property may be termed dispersive media.
When w
When wavelength decreases then frequency increases and then
the group velocity (wave packet velocity or combination of
2. different velocities of pulses of the wave) decreases and this
phenomena is called Pulse Broadening.
3. The dispersion leads to pulse broadening because each wavelength component of
an initial pulse travels at a different group velocity.
Dispersion affects pulse broadening because each wavelength
component of an initial pulse travels at a different group velocity.
The group velocity of a wave is the velocity with which the overall envelope shape of the
wave's amplitudesâknown as the modulation or envelope of the waveâpropagates through
space.
In some applications such as telecommunications, the absolute phase of a wave is often not
important but only the propagation of wave packets or "pulses"; in that case one is interested
only in variations of group velocity with frequency, so-called group-velocity dispersion.
4. In optical fibers, the signal travels partially in the core and
partially in the cladding, and the total mode field
diameter changes with wavelength. Since the refractive index
is different in the core than in the cladding, a change in mode
field diameter also results in a change in average dispersion
index and, therefore, signal velocity. The ratio of velocity
change to wavelength change due to this effect is known
as waveguide dispersion.
The units of chromatic dispersion are picoseconds per
nanometer-kilometer; that is, for a 1-nm, free-space
3. wavelength change, this gives the number of picoseconds of
delay change per kilometer of fiber length.
5. Waveguide dispersion arises from the wavelength
dependence of the optical power distribution of a waveguide-
mode between the core and the cladding. Light at shorter
wavelength is more completely confined to the core region,
light at longer wavelength is more distributed in the cladding.
The light at longer wavelength has the greater portion in the
cladding, and thus travels at higher propagation speed,
because the refractive index of the cladding is lower than that
of the core.
6. The rate at which data can be transported on a single fiber is limited by pulse broadening
due to chromatic dispersion among other phenomena.

4. 7. Dispersion & High-power transmission (means high bit rate transmission). As
dispersion exists then it limits over bit rate or flow of bit per unit time. Due to
broadening of wave pulse, one bit to overflow its time slot and overlapping with other
bits.
Time gap/ Delay is more Time gap/Delay is less
This implies that dispersion limits over high speed optical signal transmission. Due to
broadening of pulse (of particular wavelength) having effect on the on the propagation time.
That is dispersion limits over minimum usable pulse length and spacing between pulses and
finally limits over time of propagation.so we can say that the variation of time of propagation
with the wavelength is known as dispersion. It limits over intrinsic information carrying
capacity of the fiber & fiber length.so dispersion is the parameter to measure the
performance of the fiber network.
