Chromatic Dispersion




The chromatic dispersion of an optical medium is basically the frequency dependence of the phase velocity and group velocity of light propagating in a medium. Therefore, it is also called group velocity dispersion. In an .

Chromatic dispersion is a result of the fact that different colors or wavelengths travel at different speeds, even within the same mode. Chromatic dispersion is also called material dispersion because the dispersion characteristics is related to the materials such as silica.
