Abstract
An apparatus comprises an optical sublink including an operationally coupled optical fiber segments. The optical fiber segments are from a first optical fiber type, a second optical fiber type and a third optical fiber type. The first optical fiber type has a positive dispersion and a positive dispersion slope. The second optical fiber type has a negative dispersion and a negative dispersion slope. The third optical fiber type has one from the group of (1) a positive dispersion and a negative dispersion slope, and (2) a negative dispersion and a positive dispersion slope.
