New dispersion compensating module for compensation of dispersion and dispersion slope of non-zero dispersion fibres in the C-band

A new single mode dispersion compensating module with very low insertion loss and PMD for C-band compensation of TrueWave-RS/sup TM/ (TWRS/sup TM/) is presented. We show experimentally that the C-band link residual dispersion varies only 0.04 ps/(nm/spl middot/km).
