The resultant dispersion of fiberguide link

The mathematical separation of multimode dispersion and material dispersion on the overall dispersion of an optical fiber will be shown in this letter. The relations derived can be used to evaluate the resultant baseband frequency response of a fiberguide with the use of light sources of various spectral bandwidth. The approximate description of the baseband frequency response characteristics of individual fiber sections permits one to estimate the resultant transmission bandwidth of the fiberguide line.
