Abstract
A dispersion compensating optical transmission line comprises a plurality of optical transmission fibers for transmitting signal light, at least one first dispersion compensator disposed at a first dispersion compensating cycle for compensating an accumulated chromatic dispersion of the signal light so that an average chromatic dispersion is equal to a first desired value, and a plurality of second dispersion compensators disposed at a second dispersion compensating cycle shorter than the first dispersion compensating cycle for compensating the accumulated chromatic dispersion of the signal light so that an average chromatic dispersion is equal to a second desired value which absolute value is larger than that of the first desired value.
