Introduction to Dispersion Testing (CD and PMD)


This one-day course provides 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.

Content
Dispersion phenomena
Basic principles of PMD and CD
Causes of PMD and CD in the fiber
Effects of PMD and CD on the fiber
Different types of dispersion
EXFO’s PMD and CD measurement method
Result analysis using pass/fail thresholds

Pre-Requisites
Basic comprehension of physics and mathematics
EXFO’s FE-1031 − Basic Fiber Optics and Loss Testing (IL and ORL) or equivalent

Methodology
The first part of this course consists of lectures using PowerPoint presentations and demonstrations, while the
second part consists of specific hands-on PMD and CD testing exercises, as well as experiments on total PMD
measurement, coefficient calculation, pass/fail result analysis using thresholds, and result interpretation.

Documentation
Attendees will receive a binder containing copies of presentations and other handouts.
