Numerical modeling of degradation mechanisms in single mode optical fibre using finite difference method

This article deals with the numerical model of degradation mechanisms in a single-mode optical fibre. Signal propagation in a single mode optical fibre is described by nonlinear Schrödinger equation and is numerically calculated with the use of Finite Difference Method. Created numerical models provide good description of the degradation mechanisms investigated transmitted optical pulses. Implemented numerical models can be used for further and deeper studies of the propagation of optical pulses in single-mode optical fibres.
