Waveguide Dispersion in Optical Fiber Quiz

What is waveguide dispersion?

• Waveguide dispersion is the result of interference between different wavelengths of light

• Waveguide dispersion is the absorption of light by the waveguide material

• Different wavelengths of light travel at different speeds within the waveguide

• Waveguide dispersion is caused by the reflection of light within the waveguide

How does waveguide dispersion affect optical fiber?

• It increases the speed of all wavelengths of light

• It has no effect on optical fiber

• It causes different wavelengths of light to travel at different speeds

• It causes all wavelengths of light to travel at the same speed

Why is waveguide dispersion important in optical fiber communication?

• Waveguide dispersion has no impact on optical fiber communication

• Waveguide dispersion can cause signal distortion and degradation in optical fiber communication.

• Waveguide dispersion improves the signal quality in optical fiber communication

• Waveguide dispersion only affects the color of the light in optical fiber communication

What are the factors that contribute to waveguide dispersion in optical fiber?

• Different propagation speeds of different wavelengths of light

• Temperature changes in the environment

• Presence of impurities in the fiber

• Reflection of light within the fiber

How can waveguide dispersion be minimized in optical fiber?

• Increasing the number of modes in the fiber

• Using single-mode fibers

• Using dispersion-shifted fibers

• Using step-index fibers
