Design and manufacture of dispersion compensating fibers and their performance in systems

Single-mode dispersion compensating fibers for discrete module applications are still the best choice for broadband dispersion compensation. Improvements in slope matching and insertion loss are being made continually. Cabled dispersion compensating fibers are currently being deployed in commercial submarine systems, and experiments have begun to explore their performance advantages in terrestrial long-haul applications.
