Abstract

A fast and accurate numerical algorithm for calculating fiber group delay is described. This algorithm allows one to evaluate time and frequency responses. An example of a response obtained in such a way for real fiber is compared to the corresponding experimental data. These confirm that this approach has some advantages and can be easily applied in practice.
