Abstract :
The origin of errors in the calculation of dispersion of optical fibres using an approach presented by Sharma et al. (1982) is found. Such errors are due to the strongly-guided characteristics of dispersion-flattened and dispersion-shifted optical fibres, which will not be met in handling conventional type optical fibres with weakly-guided field patterns.
