Abstract
The invention concerns a monomode optical fiber having at a wavelength of 1550 nm a dispersion slope from −0.8 ps/nm .km to −0.5 ps/nm .km and a chromatic dispersion from −130 ps/nm.km to −90 ps/nm.km, the fiber having a cladding and a core whose index profile features a central part having an index higher than that of the cladding, a ring having an index higher than that of the cladding and lower than that of the central part, and a trench between the central part and the ring having an index lower than that of the cladding, and the use of a fiber of this kind to compensate dispersion. The fiber of the invention finds applications in high bit rate transmission systems in particular. The invention also concerns a wavelength division multiplex optical fiber transmission system comprising at least one section of fiber in accordance with the invention.
