ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber has a section of the first kind having a chromatic dispersion not less than a given positive value x and a negative chromatic dispersion slope at a given wavelength and a section of the second kind has a chromatic dispersion not more than −x and a positive chromatic dispersion slope at the same wavelength. Another optical fiber has a chromatic dispersion higher than a positive value x and a negative chromatic dispersion slope at a given wavelength band.
