Abstract
A dispersion-tapered fiber for use in a soliton transmission system having lumped amplifiers to substantially reduce loss associated with pseudo phase matching and to relax the limitations on minimum allowable channel spacing caused by cross-phase modulation. The dispersion tapered fiber has a dispersion tapered either continuously or in steps, in conformity with the fiber loss curve.
