Pulse dispersion in a graded index optical fiber is given by
where
is the difference in refractive indices of core and cladding,
is the refractive index of the cladding,
is the length of the fiber taken for observing the pulse dispersion,
is the speed of light, and
is the constant of graded index profile.

Famous quotes containing the words pulse and/or dispersion:
“Give him the darkest inch your shelf allows,
Hide him in lonely garrets, if you will,—
But his hard, human pulse is throbbing still
With the sure strength that fearless truth endows.”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
