Dispersion Shifted Fibre
• dispersion shifted fibre is designed with a dispersion zero point at around 1550 nm. • However, it is not always possible or indeed desirable: • In many cases we can't have DSF because the fibre we must use is already installed. • four-wave mixing effectively prohibit the use of DSF.

Polarisation Mode Dispersion (PMD)
• There is usually a very slight difference in RI for each polarisation. It can be a source of dispersion, usually less than .5 ps/nm/km. • The effect is to cause a circular or elliptical polarisation to form as the signal travels along the fibre. • Dispersion resulting from the birefringent properties of fibre is called “Polarisation Mode Dispersion” (PMD).
