Dispersion Compensation for CATV Systems


Brondby Denmark - OFS today announced the release of Optical dispersion compensation is critical in high-speed optical communication networks to overcome the limitations of chromatic dispersion. Both analog and digital CATV systems require dispersion compensation for long transmission lengths to deliver video services, high definition content and the best viewer experience. When using low-cost directly modulated lasers, the chirp dispersion might become the main limiting factor, resulting in shorter allowable transmission distance than given by the loss budget. Optical dispersion compensation cancels the effects of dispersion, enabling you to take full advantage of the optical bandwidth.
