Dispersion compensating fiber used as a transmission fiber: inverse/reverse dispersion fiber

  • Chapter
Fiber Based Dispersion Compensation

Part of the book series: Optical and Fiber Communications Reports ((OFCR,volume 5))

  • 1196 Accesses

This paper gives an overview of IDF/RDF fiber design and development for submarine system. It starts with the concept of dispersion management line and its difference from the conventional DCF used in a module. Then it reviews the fiber design details and optical properties of various types of fibers used as parts of dispersion management lines. Fiber splicing issues using MFD expanding method and a brief summary of transmission experiments using the dispersion management lines are also included. Finally, we discussed a medial dispersion alternative comprising a positive and negative medial dispersion fiber and future optical properties improvements possibilities.
