摘要： An optical amplifying-repeating transmission system is disclosed which is composed of an optical fiber for transmitting a lightwave signal with digital information added to return-to-zero lightwave pulses and a plurality of optical amplifying repeaters inserted in the optical fiber for transmission use. The mean value of wavelengths at which the wavelength dispersion of the optical fiber is zero is smaller than the wavelength of the lightwave signal which is transmitted over the system. The accumulated wavelength dispersion value of the optical fiber tends to increase with the distance of transmission, from a macroscopic viewpoint. The optical fiber for transmission is divided into a plurality of sections. In accordance with the accumulated wavelength dispersion value of the optical fiber in each section except at least the last one, a wavelength dispersion medium, which locally changes the wavelength dispersion in a manner to cancel the accumulated wavelength dispersion in the section at the wavelength of the lightwave signal, is inserted in the section to eliminate the accumulation of the timing jitter.

摘要： An optical transmission system comprises transmission optical fibers 14 connected between an optical transmission terminal 10 and an optical receiving terminal 12 via optical amplifying repeaters 16, and equalizing fiber 18 each connected in each equalizing interval. The equalizing fiber 18 is typically located at the terminal end of each equalizing interval. Each transmission optical fiber 14 is a dispersion-shifted fiber whose wavelength dispersion is substantially zero in a specific band, for example, 1.5 .mu.m. The optical amplifying repeaters 16 include an optical amplifier, and a dispersion compensating optical element having wavelength dispersion characteristics that exhibit an inclination opposite from that of wavelength characteristics of wavelength dispersion of the transmission optical fiber 14 (more specifically, a minus inclination with respect to the wavelength). The dispersion compensating optical element compensates offset values of cumulative wavelength dispersion among different wavelengths. The dispersion compensating optical element can be made by a fiber grating technology.
