title: Temperature dependence of chromatic dispersion in various types of optical fiber.
abstract: The temperature dependence of chromatic dispersion is examined for various types of fiber. Its coefficient is found to depend strongly on the dispersion slope. Dispersion-flattened fiber has a significantly low coefficient of -0.0005(ps/nm/km)/ degrees C , compared with -0.0038(ps/nm/km)/ degrees C for large-core nonzero dispersion-shifted fiber. Transmission lines with low dispersion slopes consisting of pure silica core fiber and dispersion-compensating fiber also exhibit low coefficients of less than -0.001(ps/nm/km)/ degrees C because of their compensating effects.
