Fiber Chromatic Dispersion calculator
Pulse broadening from fiber chromatic dispersion.
Category: Fiber Optics
Formula: Δτ = D · Δλ · L (ps)
Inputs
| Input | Parameter | Unit | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| D (ps/nm/km) | D | 17 | |
| Δλ | dlam | nm | 1 |
| Length (km) | L | 10 |
Result with the default inputs
- Δτ: 170 ps
Open it with your own values: put each input in the address as a parameter, for example /calculators/fiber-chromatic-dispersion?D=17. A unit other than the listed one goes in <parameter>_unit.
