Maximum information capacity of fibre-optic waveguides
For the region of ‘zero material dispersion’, it is shown that a 2nd-order effect proportional to the square of the source spectral width determines the lower limit to fibre pulse spreading. The optimum operating wavelength depends on the V-value of the guide.
