Chromatic dispersion of two orthogonal polarization modes has been investigated for various kinds of PANDA fibers. In high-birefringence fiber with modal birefringence B = 7.9 x 10(-4), the zero-dispersion wavelength for the x-polarization mode (lambda(0x) = 1.307 microm) was 6 nm shorter than that for the y-polarization mode (lambda(0y) = 1.313 microm). Chromatic dispersion of the fiber at 1.55-microm wavelength was sigma(x) = 18.3 psec/km-nm and sigma(y) = 16.1 psec/km-nm for the x- and y-polarization modes, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
