ABSTRACT:
An optical amplifier system is disclosed comprising a span of dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) and a temperature control system. The temperature control system is positioned proximate to the DCF span. The DCF span is configured to carry optical signals. The temperature control system is configured to control the temperature of the environment directly surrounding the DCF span to reduce polarization mode dispersion (PMD) fluctuation in the DCF span.
