Group velocity dispersion is the phenomenon that the group velocity of light in a transparent medium depends on the optical frequency or wavelength. [quoted from wiki]. I have tried to do my research, but a lot of the answers are not helpful. There must be some physical mechanism behind this frequency dependence right? Or is this just a general term for describing all kinds of dispersion such as chromatic disperion, modal dispersion?
