  • Author: Francis Audet, Robert Conway
The public’s thirst for ever-increasing bandwidth, driven by streaming video and other bandwidth-intensive multimedia applications in both the wireline and wireless space, has resulted in service providers ramping up the capacity of their networks. While the network equipment technology is available to support the required higher data rates, the existing optical network is not necessarily ready to accommodate it. Optical network anomalies such as chromatic dispersion (CD) and polorization mode dispersion (PMD) can create havoc on high-speed networks.
