A manufacturer’s data sheet lists the material dispersion, Dmat of a GeO2-doped fiber to be 110 ps/(nm.km) at a wavelength of 860 nm.
(i) Calculate the rms pulse broadening per kilometer due to material dispersion if the optical source is an LED that has a spectral width, σλ of 40 nm.
(ii) If the same fiber has a material dispersion Dmat of 15 ps/(nm.km) at the wavelength of 1550 nm, calculate the new rms pulse broadening per kilometer if we use laser source with a spectral width of 0.2 nm.

3. An instantaneous pulse travels through a SM fiber that is 50 Km long. The fiber has a chromatic dispersion of 9 ps/nm-km. The laser source has a spectral width of 0.5 nm. What is the length of the pulse at the end?
8. A 1550 nm optical link uses a standard single-mode fiber with dispersion parameter of 4 ps/nm/km (Chromatic Dispersion), and a laser source with a linewidth of 0.5 nm. Assuming the link carrier is a 10 Gbits/s binary signal, estimate the maximum length of optical fiber required before dispersion compensation is required. (Assume the maximum spread is half the time interval between each bit).
