For optimum graded-index fibers, δT is shorter than that in the step-index fibers, because the ray travels along the center slows down (n is larger) and the ray traveling longer paths travels faster (n is small)

This property holds in the 0.5~2μm wavelength
Isotropy: The electromagnetic properties are the same for all directions in the medium
Birefringence: The refraction indexes along two different directions are different (lithium niobate, LiNbO , modulator, isolator, tunable filter)

Where
The multimode fiber can support many modes. A single mode fiber only supports the fundamental mode.
Different modes have different β,
such that they propagate at different speeds.=>mode dispersion

The light energy is distributed in the core and the cladding.

Since Δ is small, a significant portion of the light energy can propagate in the cladding, the modes are weakly guided.
The energy distribution of the core and the cladding depends on wavelength.
It causes waveguide dispersion (different from material dispersion)
( Appendix E )For longer wave, it has more energy in the
cladding and vice versa.

=>Polarization-mode dispersion (PMD)Differential group delay (DGD)Δτ=Δβ/w ~ typical value Δτ=0.5100 km => 50 psPractically PMD varies randomly along the fiber and
may be cancelled from an segment to another segment.
Empirically, Δτ ~ 0.1-1 Some elements such as isolators, circulators, filters
may have polarization-dependent loss (PDL).

2.3.2 Controlling the Dispersion ProfileDef:
Chromatic dispersion parameter
D =
D = DM + Dw
The standard single mode fiber has small chromatic dispersion at 1.3 μm but large at 1.55 μm
222 /c in ps nm km
51
At 1.55μm loss is low, and EDFA is well developed. Dispersion becomes an issue
We have not much control over DM, but Dw can be controlled by carefully designed refractive index profile.
Dispersion shifted fibers, which have zero dispersion in 1.55μm band
52
53
2.4 Nonlinear Effects
For bit rate 2.5 Gb/s, power a few mw≦ Linear Assumption is valid
Nonlinear effect appears for high power or high bit rate 10 Gb/s and WDM systems≧
The first category relates to the interaction of lightwave with phonons (molecular vibrations)
- Rayleigh Scattering- Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS)- Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS)
54
The second category is due to the dependence of the refractive index on the intensity
- self-phase modulation (SPM)- four-wave mixing (FWM)
SBS and SRS transfer energy from short λ (pump) to long λ(stokes wave)
Scattering gain coefficient, g, is measured in meter/watt and Δf.
● SPM induces chirping
In a WDM system, variation of n depending on the intensity of all channels.
=>Yields Cross-phase modulation (CPM)
=>interchannel crosstalk

The intensity of the electrical field
The intensity-dependent refractive index is
The nonlinear index coefficient
in silica fiberWe take for exampleBecause a pulse has its finite temporal extent=>The phase shift is different in different parts of the pulseThe leading edges have positive frequency shift The tailing edges have negative frequency shift => SPM causes positive chirping

2.4.7 Cross-Phase ModulationIn WDM systems, the intensity-dependent nonlinear effects
(phase shift) are enhanced by other signals, this effect is referred to as cross-phase modulation (CPM)

If E1=E2
Apparently CPM effect is twice of SPM.In practice, β1 and β2 are different => The pulses corresponding to individual channel
walk away from each other. => can not interact further => CPM is negligible for standard fibersNote for DSF, they travel at same velocity, CPM is
significant

2.4.9 New Optical Fiber Types
A. DSF is not suitable for WDM due to nonlinear effect.
To reduce nonlinear effect (different group
velocities lack phase matching)
=>to develop nonzero-dispersion fibers
(NZ-DSF)
a chromatic dispersion 1~6 ps/nm-km
or -1 ~ -6 ps/nm-km
NZ-DSF has most advantage of DSF (in c-band)
