COMPENSATION OF LASER CHIRP IN FIBER SYSTEMS

摘要

Disclosed is a telecommunication system in which laser chirp is compensated by using optical waveguide fiber having a pre-selected sign of total dispersion. The combination of a laser with an optical waveguide fiber is optimized by selecting transient chirp dominated lasers for use with optical waveguide fibers having sign of end to end dispersion opposite in sign to the transient dominated laser chirp and by selecting adiabatic chirp dominated lasers for use with optical waveguide fibers having sign of end to end dispersion of the same sign as the adiabatic dominated laser chirp.
