Abstract

Dispersion characteristic of MI and MII type single mode optical fibers is analytically investigated. For this purpose modal analysis of these fibers to obtain possible wave vectors for given system parameters are done. Then using numerical evaluation of the presented analytical relations, chromatic and waveguide dispersions are calculated. The effects of geometrical and optical parameters of the fibers on dispersion characteristics are investigated. In this analysis, we show that with increase of Δ (optical parameter) for MI structure the slope of dispersion curve is decreased and the case is reversed for MII structure. Also, with rising of Q (geometric parameter) for MI structure the slope of dispersion curve is decreased and the situation is reversed for MII structure. Finally, we show that with boosting of R2 for MII structure the slope of dispersion is increased. As a final result, our simulations show that small values for optical parameters are better in MII structure for multi-channel optical communications. In MI structure to obtain small dispersion slope, Q can be increased that is easy for fabrication in practice. Finally, Q and R2 are suitable parameters for control of dispersion in the proposed structures.
