Zero-dispersion wavelength

Please help me understanding the zero-dispersion wavelength in fibers. I found this wiki-article on the topic. Accordingly: "In a single-mode optical fiber, the zero-dispersion wavelength is the ...

Why are bend losses higher at higher wavelengths in fiber optic cables?

I have been researching the effect of wavelength on macro-bend losses for my extended essay (a 4000 word paper on a subject of your choice, high school level) on fiber optic cables. I asked this ...

Dispersion and wavelength

Why does dispersion increase with wavelength? If I understand correctly, refractive index is decreasing with wavelength. As a result, greater wavelengths are traveling faster. How does this cause the ...

Will overlapping two different beams of coherent light with different wavelength cause interference?

If I use two different wavelength lasers to transmit light into a single mode optic fiber will they interfere with each other? If so, how much will be that interference.

What will happen if I transmit 850nm signal through a 1300nm optical fiber? [closed]

We prefer 1300nm optical fiber over 850nm optical fiber because later one is more efficient. So am selecting 1300nm optical fiber. But I want to know the possibility of using same cable to transmit ...
