6. The different types of fiber encountered
6.1 Compromise between dispersion and non-linear effects
As we saw in paragraph 3 , fiber optics induce degradations in transmitted signals due, on the one hand, to dispersion and, on the other, to non-linear effects. In the absence of non-linear effects (for sufficiently low power),...

Directory
Manufacturers – Suppliers – Distributors (non-exhaustive list)
A few major manufacturers share the worldwide market for optical fibers and cables for long-distance telecommunications networks. These "generalist" groups manufacture just about every type of fiber used in telecommunications, and are capable of producing thousands of kilometers of fiber.
