Abstract
Disclosed is an optical transmission system and module which includes a negative dispersion, dispersion compensating optical fiber coupled to a micro-structured optical fiber (such as band gap fiber, photonic crystal fiber or holey fiber) for compensating for the accumulated dispersion in a transmission fiber. The optical transmission system and module in accordance with the invention provides substantially equal compensation of total dispersion over an operating wavelength band, reduced overall system length, and lower insertion loss.
