Abstract
A dispersion equalization technique for correcting dispersion-induced signal degradation within optical fibers is disclosed herein. The present invention prescribes a technique for synthesizing an optical fiber R of length L adapted to induce substantially zero dispersion at a wavelength W' included between first and second wavelengths W1 and W2. The optical fiber R includes first and second segments M and C of variable lengths L.sub.1 and L.sub.2 which induce substantially zero dispersion at the wavelengths W1 and W2, respectively.
