Abstract

In this paper we studied the dispersion and loss characteristics of several types of optical fiber through a simulation study. The single mode step index optical fiber is the best road for a minimum dispersion. Using single mode step index fiber with proper profile the minimum dispersion and minimum loss is obtained at 1550 nm wavelength. Thus data with extremely high bandwidth can be transmitted to an enormous distance through it without any repeater or amplifier with minimum loss and dispersion.
