Ultrashort light pulse CDMA with simultaneous fiber dispersion and dispersion slope compensation

We evaluate a fiber link for simultaneously compensating fiber dispersion and dispersion slope in ultrashort light pulse code-division multiple access (CDMA) communication systems. The fiber link consists of a standard single-mode fiber (SMF) connected with two different types of dispersion-compensating fibers (DCF). This fiber link demonstrates several tens of times longer transmission, compared to a dispersion-shifted fiber (DSF) link.
