Re: fiber optic bandwidth



There are many types of fiber, choices of transmitting wavelength and size
of core/cladding. I'd say it's difficult to say anything about theoretical
limts without being more specific about these details.


My students (and I) want to know what is the theoretical limit on bandwidth
for sending information down a typical strand of fiber optics?

How different is the practical limit from the theoretical one?

Thanks,
Larry
