Patent abstract
Dispersion may be managed in a branched optical network by using transmission segments having a single period segment dispersion map. One or more of such segments may be coupled to network nodes such as terminals or branching units such that dispersion may be managed even when the network is reconfigured. In one embodiment, a single period segment dispersion map provides dispersion compensation at the ends of the segment. In another embodiment, a single period segment dispersion-map provides dispersion compensation at the middle of the segment.
