DISPERSION MANAGED CABLE FOR WDM SYSTEMS

摘要

Disclosed is a telecommunications system link that includes plurality of spans (3) each having a transmission fiber (2) and a compensating fiber (4). The compensating fiber (4) is selected to completely compensate dispersion slope while only partially compensating total dispersion. This configuration compensates dispersion over an operating wavelength range while at the same time providing a transmission path having non-zero dispersion.
