Abstract
In accordance with the present invention, a dispersion compensation module is coupled to a transmission optical fiber. The dispersion compensation module includes segments of optical fiber of varying length, some of which have a positive dispersion while other have a negative dispersion. Selected optical fiber segments are coupled to one another to provide a desired net dispersion to offset the dispersion associated with the transmission optical fiber. Thus, rather than provide a unique segment of DCF for each span, the same dispersion compensation module can be used for spans of varying length and fiber types by simply connecting appropriate segments of fiber within the module.
