Realization of Combined Chromatic Dispersion Compensation Methods in High Speed WDM Optical Transmission Systems

摘要

Chromatic dispersion (CD) has an important role on a quality of transmitted optical signal in high-speed fiber optic transmission systems. As a result chromatic dispersion limits the maximum transmission distance. Dispersion is a second most important optical fiber characteristic after attenuation or transmission loss [1]. As shown in Fig. 1, the three main dispersion types are modal, chromatic, and polarization mode dispersions. Chromatic dispersion can be divided into two components - material and waveguide dispersion [2].
