Abstract
A light signal propagating in an optical fiber is subject to a variety of ways in which it can get distorted. Many of these are based on different propagation velocities for different parts of the signal. After such distortion, there is a risk that the signal arrives at the receiver in such a mangled form that it may be impossible to correctly decipher it.
