This lecture covers the dispersion phenomena in optical fibers, including material dispersion, waveguide dispersion, and polarization-mode dispersion. It explains how a pulse of light is dispersed in time and intensity, the propagation of light waves, the group velocity, and group velocity dispersion. The instructor discusses the group velocity dispersion in single mode fibers, the beta-omega plot, and the characteristics of guided modes in dispersive systems.
