Intramodal disersion Otical sources are not monochromatic: otical ower wavelenth So we have to consider intramodal disersion time Γ. Έηνας, Διάεξη 6, σε. 3 Intramodal (chromatic) disersion Material Disersion: Occurs because refractive index is a nonlinear function of wavelenth (Fi. A). Grou velocity of a secific mode is a function of the refractive index, which causes the various sectral comonents of a iven mode to travel at different seeds accordin to their wavelenth Is sinificant in sinle-mode fibers, and is made worse by LEDs (which have a bier sectral width than laser diodes).

Kasa, Otoelectronics Inut Claddin v () Emitter Core v ( ) Very short liht ulse Outut Intensity Intensity Intensity Sectrum, Δ Sread, Δ t t t o t All excitation sources are inherently non-monochromatic and emit within a sectrum Δ, of wavelenths. Waves in the uide with different free sace wavelenths travel at different rou velocities due to the wavelenth deendence of n. The waves arrive at the end of the fiber at different times and hence result in a broadened outut ulse. Γ. Έηνας, Διάεξη 6, σε. 6 Pae 3
Intramodal (chromatic) disersion Waveuide Disersion: Occurs because only about 8% of the otical ower is confined to the core of a sinle-mode fiber. The liht roaatin in the claddin travels faster. It is insinificant in multimode fibers, whilst for sinle mode, material disersion is the dominant contribution. {See Fi.B}. Even if there was no material disersion, waveuide disersion would still exist; it is caused by the core-claddin structure of the fiber itself. Γ. Έηνας, Διάεξη 6, σε. 7 Waveuide Disersion With increasin wavelenth, more of the otical field (i.e. ower) enetrates into the claddin: y y Claddin > c > v Core v > v E(y) Claddin As more of the field is carried by the claddin, the rou velocity increases.

Έηνας, Διάεξη 6, σε. 9 Disersion Hence for sinle-mode fiber, minimum disersion is obtained at 3 nm However, minimum attenuation is at 55 nm. The units of disersion are: s/(nm.m) Pulse sreadin (in s) becomes worse with increasin distance (m) and with increasin sectral width of otical source (nm) D σ L σ D disersion, σ rms ulse sread, σ rms sectral width of source, L fiber lenth Γ.

Phase & Grou Velocity For a disersive medium, such as sinle-mode fiber, the ulse shae will chane as it moves alon: Aart from some waveuide disersion, the main cause of the ulse sreadin is material disersion (nonlinear chane of n with ) couled with sources havin finite sectral width. Γ. Έηνας, Διάεξη 6, σε. Phase & Grou Velocity All otical sources (includin lasers) have a finite sectral width: Intensity (arbitrary units) Δ: sectral width, FWHM Each wavelenth will see a different value of refractive index, and so travel at different seeds: n Γ. Έηνας, Διάεξη 6, σε. Pae 6
Phase & Grou Velocity Althouh we mainly deal with wavelenth rather than frequency, for this discussion it will be more convenient to use frequency. We will also consider just two, very closely saced frequencies within the rou: Intensity (arbitrary units) δ - Γ. Έηνας, Διάεξη 6, σε. 3 Phase & Grou Velocity At any iven wavelenth, we can consider the liht to be an electromanetic wave whose electric field is a sinusoidal travellin wave (in the + z direction): E ( z, t) E cos ( z t) () π π v ( f ) T hase constant anular frequency hase velocity Γ.

Έηνας, Διάεξη 6, σε. 3 Phase & Grou Velocity If the hase and rou velocities are equal, then the enveloe will travel at the same seed as the carrier wave, and there will be no disersion. From equation (7), this imlies that the hase velocity should not deend on wavelenth if we are to achieve disersionless transmission. v v v v no disersion disersion Γ. Έηνας, Διάεξη 6, σε. 4 Pae

Material Disersion We seen reviously that: Otical sources have a finite sectral width This leads to the definition of rou velocity Refractive index varies (nonlinearly) with wavelenth We will now examine how these two henomena combine to yield rou velocity disersion (material disersion).

Έηνας, Διάεξη 6, σε. 34 Pae 7
Material Disersion In other words, the imulse resonse associated with the otical source taes on the form of a modulated waveacet: (t) t f (t) This waveacet reresents a ulse of liht emitted by the otical source, and it contains a rane of frequencies (i.e. wavelenths). We now need to examine what will haen to the rou velocity of this ulse as it roaates alon a fiber. Γ. Έηνας, Διάεξη 6, σε. 35 Material Disersion Consider an otical ulse launched into a sinle mode fiber. Due to the sectral width of the source, this ulse consists of a rou of wavelenths which travel at the rou velocity: otical ower v d d wavelenth distance Γ. Έηνας, Διάεξη 6, σε. 36 Pae 8

Grou velocity disersion (GVD) We now that: An otical source emits a sread of wavelenths centred on. This can be reresented by a waveacet which travels at the rou velocity and therefore sees a rou index n. However, n and thus the rou velocity v and delay τ are all wavelenth deendent. Each different sectral comonent emitted by the source will travel at different rou velocities, and this GVD is the cause of material disersion. Γ.
