ABSTRACT:
It is the object of the present invention to optimize the degradation due to the four-wave mixing of wavelength multiplexed signals and the distortion due to the chromatic dispersion, thereby to provide a wavelength division multiplexed optical fiber transmission equipment having good transmission characteristics. A WDM transmitting terminal consists of four transmitters of channels 1 to 4, and a wavelength-division multiplexer. Further, a WDM receiving terminal consists of an equalization optical fiber, a wavelength-division demultiplexer, and four receivers of the channels 1 to 4. The WDM transmitting terminal and the WDM receiving terminal are interconnected by transmission optical fibers and an optical amplifier. The equipment is designed so that the wavelengths .lambda..sub.1, .lambda..sub.2, .lambda..sub.3 and .lambda..sub.4 of the optical signals output from the transmitters all lie on the short-wavelength side with respect to the average zero-dispersion wavelength .lambda..sub.0. This allows the distortion due to the four-wave mixing of a wavelength multiplexed signal to be reduced. The equalization optical fiber has a chromatic dispersion of a sign opposite to the chromatic dispersion of the optical fibers forming a transmitting path, thereby for compensating the chromatic dispersion of the optical signals output from the transmitters.
