Abstract
An optical communication system transmitting a plurality of channel wavelengths is provided. The system includes a transmitter unit, a receiver unit, and an optical transmission path interconnecting the transmitter and receiver units. The transmission path has a concatonation of optical fibers defining a dispersion map such that each of the channel wavelengths are located at FMX and XPM antiresonances at which FWM and XPM are suppressed.
