Abstract

An optical pulse transmission line portion is provided, having dispersion slope compensation, including an optical waveguide (length L1, dispersion parameter D1) having a dispersion slope parameter (S1) of a first sign, and a dispersion compensation unit (length L2, dispersion parameter D2) having a dispersion slope parameter (S2) of the opposite sign. The path average dispersion (<D>) of the transmission line portion is: Further, an optical pulse transmission line element, having dispersion compensation and dispersion slope compensation are provided, including an optical waveguide (length L1,dispersion parameter D1, dispersion slope parameter S1) and first and second dispersion compensation units (lengths L2, L3, dispersion parameters D2, D3, dispersion slope parameters S2, S3, respectively). The path average dispersion (<D>) of the transmission line element (total length L) is:
