Abstract

A dispersion compensation device uses at least two chromatic dispersion compensation fibers to compensate for chromatic dispersion present in an optical communication system. Two dispersion orders can be corrected using appropriate lengths of two serially coupled compensation fibers having different dispersion characteristics. The device can compensate for N additional orders of dispersion by using N additional compensation fibers with unique dispersion characteristics. The device can be coupled directly to a transmission fiber.
