Abstract

An optical fiber transmission line capable of suppressing the generation efficiency of four wave mixing in transmitting wavelength multiplex signal light. The transmission line employs a single mode optical fiber in which a zero dispersion wavelength is varied in the longitudinal direction of the optical fiber more largely than manufacturing variations in manufacturing conditions of the optical fiber. The use of this optical fiber as the transmission line suppresses the generation efficiency of four wave mixing in transmitting the wavelength multiplex signal light to allow the transmission of the wavelength multiplex signal light with a reduced crosstalk.
