Optical transmission path having sections which overcompensate for dispersion occurring in the sections

摘要

An optical communication system which includes a transmission path through which a light is transmitted to a specific point, such as to a receiver. The transmission path includes a plurality of sections so that the light travels through the sections to the specific point. Each section overcompensates for dispersion produced in the respective section for the light so that an amount of dispersion for the light at the specific point is substantially zero.
