The maximum digital transmission rate over an optical fiber is limited by pulse dispersion, which spreads the signal in time and can cause inter-symbol interference (ISI).
For Return-to-Zero (RZ) data transmission, the bit interval must be at least equal to the total pulse spreading to avoid overlap between bits.
Calculation:
Given:
Fiber length = 10 km, Pulse spreading constant = 10 ns/km
Total pulse spread = \(10~\text{km} \times 10~\text{ns/km} = 100~\text{ns}\)
In unipolar RZ transmission, the maximum bit rate is the reciprocal of the bit period.
\( \text{Bit rate} = \frac{1}{\text{Bit interval}} = \frac{1}{100~\text{ns}} = 10~\text{Mbps} \)
