Abstract
An optical communication system with dispersion compensation uses transverse mode transformers and a chromatic dispersion compensation optical fiber. A low order spatial mode optical signal from a communication fiber is transformed by a transverse mode transformer into a higher order spatial mode before being injected into a chromatic dispersion compensation optical fiber. The optical signal exiting the compensation fiber is then transformed back to a lower order spatial mode before being injected into a second communication fiber.
