Abstract
Disclosed is a telecommunications system link that includes plurality of spans each having a transmission fiber and a compensating fiber. The compensating fiber is selected to completely compensate dispersion slope while only partially compensating total dispersion. This configuration compensates dispersion over an operating wavelength range while at the same time providing a transmission path having non-zero dispersion.
