| 摘要 |
An optical transmission system wherein light is transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver by at least one transmission optical fiber. The system includes a dispersion transformer which receives light from one of the components, compensates for or transforms the delay distortion of the various wavelengths transmitted through the system, and provides the next component in the system with a compensated or transformed light beam. The dispersion transformer comprises means for receiving light from one of the components and dispersing/separating the light into the plurality of spatially separated beams which are directed onto the endface of a multimode optical fiber. The position of each beam on that end-face is a function of the velocity with which the light that forms the beam propagates through the transmission optical fiber. The multimode fiber is characterized in that it comprises a plurality of light-conducting channels, adjacent ones of which are separated by cladding regions having refractive indices lower than those of the adjacent light-conducting channels.
