Abstract
Chromatic dispersion is the phenomenon wherein different spectral components of the transmitted laser signal travel at different velocities in the fiber, arriving at different times at the receiver. Depending on system length and bit rate per wavelength, the amount of chromatic dispersion in a system must be carefully managed with dispersion compensators to achieve the right amount of residual dispersion. Too much residual dispersion will degrade Q from intersymbol interference.
