ABSTRACT:
An optical transmission line including first, second and third fibers so that an optical signal travels through the first, second and third fibers, in order. The first fiber has a positive dispersion for a wavelength of the optical signal. The second fiber has a negative dispersion for the wavelength of the optical signal and a mode field diameter smaller than a mode field diameter of the first fiber. The third fiber has a mode field diameter smaller than the mode field diameter of the second fiber. Pump light is provided to the third fiber so that Raman amplification occurs in the transmission line.
