Intermodal dispersion at 0.85 mu m, and intramodal dispersion in the range 0.75 to 1.5 mu m has been measured on single-mode fibres for use at 1.3 mu m. Results in good agreement with theoretical predictions show the fibres to be undercompensated at 0.85 mu m. The pulse spreading at ...
modaldispersion= intermodal dispersion chromatic dispersion = intramodal dispersion
Then, intramodal dispersion becomes important to achieve high bandwidth. Additionally, SMFs exhibit even higher bandwidths than GI MMFs, because the modal dispersion does not exist in principle, and thus intramodal dispersion seriously restricts the bandwidth of SMF [40].
