Abstract: Optical fibers enable the transmission of data through a long distance at very high speed and very low latency. However, this can be limited as a result of dispersion. This paper presents a dynamic MATLAB script that can mitigate against the dispersion in a single mode fiber (SMF)by calculating the length of dispersion compensation fiber (DCF) needed to offset the dispersion. It also calculates the number of amplifiers needed and the positions the amplifiers are to be placed. The results from the MATLAB script were also authenticated using Opti system. The average Bit error rate (BER) values gotten with simulation parameters of different scenarios shown in tables 1 and 2 are 7.6857e-17 and 5.8036e-10 respectively. The average Quality factor (Q-Factor) values of 10.046203 and 7.286533 were also gotten respectively. This showed that the effect of dispersion was compensated using the DCF thus proving the validity of the script.
