dispersion in optical fibers
Dispersion in optical fibers refers to the spreading out or distortion of light signals as they travel through the fiber, leading to a loss of signal quality. It occurs due to various factors, such as different wavelengths of light traveling at different speeds and interactions between light and the fiber material.
