Abstract :
The letter presents a simple formula for the dispersion sensitivity of single-mode fibres due to arbitrary variations of the drawing ratio. For this calculation only the requested dispersion coefficient of the ideal fibre is required without the need for data on the actual index profile. As an example the tolerance requirements of broadband fibres are investigated.
