Abstract

This paper gives an overview of IDF/RDF fiber design and development for submarine system It starts with the concept of dispersion management line and its difference from the conventional DCF used in a module Then it reviews the fiber design details and optical properties of various types of fibers used as parts of dispersion management lines Fiber splicing issues using MFD expanding method and a brief summary of transmission experiments using the dispersion management lines are also included Finally we discussed a medial dispersion alternative comprising a positive and negative medial dispersion fiber and future optical properties improvements possibilities
