Optical fiber for chromatic dispersion compensation of a NZ-DSF-fiber with positive chromatic dispersion

摘要

A chromatic dispersion-compensating fiber adapted to compensate the chromatic dispersion of an SMF or an NZ-DSF having positive chromatic dispersion presents chromatic dispersion which is negative and greater than or equal to -150 ps/(nm.km) at a wavelength of 1550 nm, and a theoretical cutoff wavelength longer than 1800 nm. At 1550 nm, the fiber presents a ratio of chromatic dispersion over chromatic dispersion slope lying in the range 30 nm to 500 nm. The fiber can present a rectangle or a trapezium profile together with a buried trench and a ring. It can be used in a line or in a module to compensate the chromatic dispersion and the chromatic dispersion slope in transmission systems in which the line fiber is an SMF or an NZ-DSF having positive chromatic dispersion.
