Dispersion-compensating fiber module

Oct. 1, 1997

The dispersion-compensating fiber module upgrades conventional singlemode fiber systems in 1310- to 1550-nm wavelengths. The unit has high negative chromatic dispersion in the 1550-nm wavelength region to compensate for the positive dispersion of conventional nondispersion-shifted singlemode fiber. It comes in small coils for use by original equipment manufacturers or in standard 23-inch rack-mount housing.
