Buying Electronic Dispersion Compensation Devices
The effects of chromatic dispersion in optical fibers can be compensated to some extent with electronic dispersion compensation devices. These devices work with direct detection and even more effectively with systems based on optical heterodyne detection, significantly increasing the data capacity of fiber-optic links.
