Abstract

The successful design of low-loss dispersion-shifted and dispersion-flattened optical fibers with low dispersion over a relatively large wavelength range can be used to reduce or completely eliminate the group-velocity mis match for the multichannel WDM systems, resulting in the desirable arrival of timealigned bit pulses, creating a new class of link systems used in high speed (> 10 Gbytes/s) single fiber computer buses.¹
