New dispersion compensating fibres for simultaneous compensation of dispersion and dispersion slope of non-zero dispersion shifted fibres in the C or L band

A new dispersion compensating fiber with extremely high negative dispersion slope is reported. Low insertion loss between 1530 and 1610 nm is demonstrated using a new splice technique.
