The present invention enables the usable bandwidth of an optical fiber transmission link to be increased. The transmission fiber of the link with a is coupled with a dispersion compensation fiber (DCF+) that has a positive dispersion and a dispersion slope such that the relative dispersion slope (RDS) of the DCF+ is lower than the RDS of the transmission fiber. Because the RDS of the DCF+ is lower than the RDS of the transmission fiber, the RDS of the combination of the transmission fiber and the DCF+ below the RDS of the transmission fiber. When the DCF+ is combined with a DCF having a negative dispersion (DCF-), the transmission link is dispersion compensated by DCF- and the usable bandwidth of the optical fiber transmission link is increased compared to the compensation of the transmission fiber by a single DCF-.
