Dispersion(1-general) The dependence of an optical signal on a specific chromatic or wavelength parameter. (2-chromatic) Distortion of pulsed transmitted signals that occurs in an optical fiber system that is caused by multiple wavelengths of light that travel different paths (different distances) within the fiber due to differences in refractive indexes of the fiber to different optical wavelengths. (3-microwave) The scattering of microwave radio signal energy by small obstructions (such as raindrops).
Optical Signal Dispersion
This figure shows how signal dispersion is a characteristic of fiber optic transmission in which the velocity of light through a glass fiber varies with the wavelength of the transmitted signal. Dispersion can impair the bandwidth, information carrying capability and maximum transmission distance of the system by smearing or broadening digital pulses.
