Symbol:
Definition: that value numerically equal to the lowest modulation frequency at which the magnitude of the baseband transfer function of an optical fibre decreases to a specified fraction, generally to one half, of the zero frequency value

NOTE – The bandwidth is limited by several mechanisms : (a) in multimode fibres - mainly modal distortion and material dispersion, (b) in singlemode fibres - mainly material and waveguide dispersion.
