Abstract
An O-band optical communication system includes a transmitter, a receiver, and an optical fiber system coupled between the transmitter and the receiver. The optical fiber system includes at least a first fiber segment, with a positive dispersion-wavelength gradient and a first zero dispersion wavelength, coupled in series to a second fiber segment, with a negative dispersion-wavelength gradient and a second zero dispersion wavelength. When an optical signal propagating along the first fiber segment has a wavelength shorter than the first zero dispersion wavelength and experiences negative dispersion, at least partial positive dispersion compensation is provided by propagation along the second fiber segment. When light of the optical signal propagating along the first fiber segment has a wavelength longer than the first zero dispersion wavelength and experiences positive dispersion, at least partial negative dispersion compensation is provided by propagation along the second fiber segment.
