Abstract
An apparatus comprises operationally coupled optical fiber segments that define an optical sublink. The optical sublink has link spans including a first link span and a second link span. The first link span has an average dispersion with a magnitude greater than zero. The second link span has an average dispersion with a magnitude greater than zero. The optical sublink has an end-to-end dispersion less than an end-to-end dispersion tolerance limit.
