Abstract
The present invention provides an optical transmission system that enables high-speed transmission of 40 Gb/s with low residual dispersion while maintaining the yield of a dispersion compensating fiber. In the present invention, the dispersion compensating fiber is connected to each span of an optical fiber for transmission. One set of an optical transmission path is formed by this optical fiber for transmission and the dispersion compensating fiber, and this one set of optical transmission path is connected in multiple stages and connected to a transmitter and a receiver. By setting the conditions of dispersion compensation in each span comparatively leniently, managing the residual dispersion of each transmission span, and suitably arranging each transmission span, an optical transmission system is composed in which adequate dispersion compensation is performed over the entire optical transmission path.
