Abstract

Light pulses carrying data in binary form to be transmitted are injected into a transoceanic line fiber in which they pass through amplifiers imparting Gordon-Haus jitter to them. In accordance with the invention, a compensation fiber is disposed at the output of the line fiber so as to apply negative chromatic dispersion to the pulses so as to compensate their jitter in part before they are processed in a receiver. The invention applies to telecommunications.
