<p>A negative total dispersion waveguide fiber having low attenuation and compresses the launched signal pulse when the laser is positively chirped. The laser is provided at optimum bias, which results in positive chirp, but no dispersion penalty is incurred in the link. The waveguide fiber is used a dispersion compensating fiber in a high performance multiplexed telecommunications link. Curve (96) in figure 8 representative of a link comprising fiber having negative dispersion waveguide fibers. Curve (98) is representative of a link comprising fiber having negative dispersion at 1550 nm in accordance with the invention. Curve (100) is representative of a link comprising fiber in accordance with the invention and a laser source that is even more positively chirped thanthe laser to generate curve (98).</p> |
