Investigation on the Dispersion Characteristics in Optical Fiber Telecommunication

Dispersion is widely existed in the optical fiber. The reason is various, such as material dispersion, waveguide dispersion, mode dispersion, and so on. It will lead to the signal waveform distortion and pulse broadening and then limit the transmission capacity and bandwidth in the optical fiber. With the rapid development, transmission rate can reach even hundreds of Gb/s, and it may lead to many problems. Correspondingly, compensation methods have been paid much attention, and there are also many methods proposed for the compensation. However, we should know the characteristics of the dispersion in order to get compensation algorithms with much higher efficiency. Optical fiber systems with better performance will be designed and manufactured. In this paper, appropriate methods are adopted to analyze the photonic crystal fiber. With the adjusting of the structure parameters, we can design a highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber with different dispersion characteristics. We study the characteristics of the dispersion of optical fiber communication. According to the analysis to obtain the dispersion characteristics of optical fiber under different parameters.
