DISPERSION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR SOLITON OPTICAL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

摘要

A dispersion management system for solition or soliton-like transmission systems comprises a length of optical fibre (L) in which a plurality of sections (1) made up of components (N,A) of opposite sign dispersions are concatenated together. The duration of the dispersion compensation phase is short in comparison with the propagation interval in the remainder of the system and the path average dispersion is anomalous.
