This work highlights the use of COMSOL Multiphysics software for simulating the fundamental electromagnetic mode in a single mode optical fiber, and analyze the effect of refractive index profile , on the overall dispersion of a launched signal . For long haul communication, it is of utmost importance to minimize dispersion in optical fibers, and hence by suitably tailoring the refractive index profile of the fiber, we can achieve almost-zero dispersion characteristics. The Electromagnetic Waves interface of COMSOL software was used for obtaining required dispersion-vs-wavelength curves.
