PURPOSE: To provide a cost effective and practicable soliton communication system. CONSTITUTION: Optical fibers F1, F2, F3...Fn which respectively have lengths Z1, Z2, Z3...Zn and dispersion values D1, D2, D3...Dn and are connected serially are so selected that the average values by the distance of the values of their group velocity dispersion attain abnormal dispersion in order to enable soliton communication. Namely, the free selection of the lengths Z1 to Zn and dispersion values D1 to Dn of the respective optical fibers F1 to Fn is possible within the range satisfying these conditions. The yield in the production of the optical fibers F1 to Fn is thus greatly improved. |
