Simulation-based prediction of multimode fiber bandwidth for 10 Gb/s systems

摘要

The recent wide-spread deployment of gigabit, multimode, optical data links has led to the need for better design methodologies to both lower cost and improve performance. One of the most critical performance predictors for these systems is the bandwidth of the multimode fiber used in the link. In this paper, we compare two approaches for multimode bandwidth prediction using an integrated device/system CAD simulation environment.
