Technical facts(K band fibers)

Attenuation : 1-2 dB/km (average 70% transmission on 1km)

Dispersion : fibers are dispersive but fiber lengths can be matched in an interferometer => no differential dispersion

Polarization :

- use of polarization maintaining fibers (but x2 loss)

- polarizations can be matched by twisting the fibers
