Abstract

The temperature dependence of chromatic dispersion is examined for various types of fiber. Its coefficient is found to depend strongly on the dispersion slope. Dispersion-flattened fiber has a significantly low coefficient of $-0.0005\left(\mathrm{ps}/\mathrm{nm}/\mathrm{km}\right){/}^{°}\mathrm{C}$, compared with $-0.0038\left(\mathrm{ps}/\mathrm{nm}/\mathrm{km}\right){/}^{°}\mathrm{C}$ for large-core nonzero dispersion-shifted fiber. Transmission lines with low dispersion slopes consisting of pure silica core fiber and dispersion-compensating fiber also exhibit low coefficients of less than $-0.001\left(\mathrm{ps}/\mathrm{nm}/\mathrm{km}\right){/}^{°}\mathrm{C}$ because of their compensating effects.
