ABSTRACT:
A WDM system includes a transmission station, a receiving station, a first optical path and a second optical path. The first optical path includes a first section and a second section, the second section being capable of compensating at least partially the dispersion accumulated by a series of optical channels along the first section. The series of channels includes at least a first plurality of channels having an average dispersion of the same sign in the first optical path. The system also includes at least a first conversion device, capable of inverting the spectrum and modifying the wavelength of at least the first plurality of channels, to produce a second plurality of channels having an average chromatic dispersion of the same sign in the second optical path.
