broadband dispersion compensation covering the C and L communication bands, ie,
wavelengths ranging from 1530 to 1625 nm. It was shown that the proposed broadband
compensating PCF can be designed to simultaneously exhibit a high negative dispersion
coefficient and a relative dispersion slope (RDS) close to that of a conventional single-mode
optical fiber (SMF). From our results, it was found that the M-OPCF has a large negative …
