Chromatic Dispersion in Optical Fiber Transmission Systems

We conducted a comprehensive simulation of chromatic dispersion in optical fiber transmission systems. Our implementation involved modeling various physical parameters including fiber length, core diameter, refractive index profile, and operating wavelength. The simulation framework utilized numerical methods such as Split-Step Fourier propagation algorithms to solve the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, ensuring precise characterization of dispersion effects.

Key implementation aspects included: - Parameter initialization through configuration files defining fiber specifications - Frequency-domain processing using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) routines - Dispersion compensation algorithms accounting for material and waveguide dispersion - Validation against analytical solutions and experimental data sets

This research provides valuable insights into chromatic dispersion behavior and establishes a robust foundation for future optical communication system optimization. The modular code architecture allows easy extension to include polarization-mode dispersion and nonlinear effects studies.
