Abstract
A dispersion compensation system includes a dispersion compensation module and a dispersion enhancement module. The dispersion compensation module receives optical input and provides optical output having a negative dispersion relative to the optical input. The dispersion enhancement module receives optical signals from a transport fiber and may increase positive dispersion in the optical signals by a configured amount such that the positive dispersion provided by the transport fiber and the dispersion enhancement module substantially equals the magnitude of the negative dispersion provided by the dispersion compensation module.
