Carlin, H.J. ; Zmuda, H.
Abstract :
The dispersion characteristics of graded index optical fiber are studied using a transverse transmission line circuit representation. For round fibers new approximations have been developed which significantly simplifies the analysis. An interesting perspective as to the physical mechanisms underlying the dispersion characteristics of such fibers result from circuit theoretic considerations.
