ABSTRACT:
Pulse broadening in a single mode optical transmission system due to wavelength dispersion is reduced by separating the different wavelength components and selectively delaying them. Upon recombination, the original phases of the wavelength components are restored, and the pulses narrowed. By using exclusively single mode devices, essentially lossless operation is realized.
