Abstract

A chromatic dispersion compensation design system includes: an input unit that inputs information of an optical network having a plurality of nodes optically coupled to each other via an optical transmission path; an allowable range determining unit that determines an allowable range of a residual chromatic dispersion with respect to every wavelength path of a plurality of signals from a starting node to a terminal node, based on the information of the optical network; and a calculation unit that calculates a wavelength path capacity in the allowable range of the residual chromatic dispersion, in view of a chromatic dispersion variability of each optical element in the optical network.
