Course: Dispersion Testing (CD and PMD)

Location: Remote, ILT

Duration: 1 Day

An overview of general dispersion phenomena occurring in fiber-optic communications, as well as the problems caused specifically by polarization mode dispersion (PMD) and chromatic dispersion (CD). The course also describes the internal workings of EXFO’s PMD and CD analyzers and explains how to interpret the result obtained with the instruments. Hands-on exercises on PMD and CD analysis and result interpretation are also included in the curriculum.
