How to Speak "Fiber Geek"
Article 3 – Dispersion and Other Non-Linear Effects

Welcome back, "Fiber Geeks"! In our first issue, we examined how wavelength use has grown over the past 30 years and also highlighted bandwidth demand drivers and introductory standards information. The second issue of "Fiber Geek" discussed critical optical parameters with a particular focus on attenuation.

Now, in our third issue in the series, we will consider parameters that affect available bandwidth in fiber and dispersion mechanisms of different types. We will cover several types of dispersion and also take a cursory look at other non-linear effects that can reduce the amount of bandwidth ultimately available over a fiber.

So sit back and take the next step to becoming a "Fiber Geek" HERE
