Optical transmission system, optical transmission line and optical transmitter

摘要

An optical transmitter outputs WDM signal lights comprising signal lights with 100 wavelengths of 10 Gbit/s, onto an optical transmission fiber. In the optical transmission line, a transmission fiber and a local area dispersion compensation fiber are disposed per repeater span defined by an optical amplification repeater, the local area dispersion compensation fiber is for compensating the average chromatic dispersion in the repeater span to become 2 ps/nm/km as well as a dispersion slope to become zero, and a wide area dispersion compensation fiber for compensating the average chromatic dispersion to become -0.2 ps/nm/km as well as the dispersion slope to become zero is disposed per predetermined number of optical repeater spans. The optical transmission fiber comprises a single mode optical fiber with large core diameter having a zero dispersion wavelength at a 1.3 mum band and plus chromatic dispersion at a signal wavelength band (a 1.55 mum band). The optical amplification repeater comprises an erbium-doped optical fiber to be pumped by a 0.98 mum band pumping light.
