Abstract
An optimum fiber structure for a practical dispersion-compensating fib er (DCF) has been explored theoretically and experimentally, taking di spersion, attenuation bending loss characteristics, polarization mode dispersion, and nonlinear effects into account. A high figure of merit (FOM) of 280 ps/nm/dB has been successfully achieved with a simple ma tched cladding design. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the optimize d structure with enhanced FOM also benefits self-phase modulation (SPM ) suppression.
