HIGH FIGURE OF MERIT DISPERSION COMPENSATING OPTICAL FIBER FOR TRANSMISSION FIBER AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEM UTILIZING SAME

摘要

A dispersion compensating optical fiber is disclosed having a high figure of merit. The optical fiber is highly dispersive and has low attenuation. The dispersion compensating optical fiber is suited for use with transmission optical fiber such as conventional single mode fiber. An optical transmission fiber and optical transmission system are also disclosed.
