Abstract
A detailed study of the impact of using a scalar approximation to the
wave equation on the prediction of the group velocity dispersion is shown
by comparing predictions against results obtained by using a full-vectorial
wave equation and measurements of commercially available optical fibers. The
effect is significant for fibers with large waveguide dispersion, such as
highly nonlinear and dispersion compensating fibers.
