Design optimization of non-zero dispersion shifted fiber for latency mitigation in optical fiber network

Abstract

Latency has an important role in new generation optical networks. There are a few ways to minimize latency in the optical networks. One way is to use silica in the core of optical fiber during the design of fabrication process. In this study, we have designed a non-zero dispersion shifted fibers (NZDSF) used as the transmission medium with minimal latency in an optical network. Using our optical fiber, the latency was improved by 0.016μs.
