Patent abstract
A bidirectional communication system is disclosed. A single optical line amplifier is used to amplify signals in both the east and west directions. Additionally, a single dispersion compensation module is used to compensate for fiber dispersion in both directions. Using a single optical line amplifier and a single dispersion compensation module for both directions allows for reduction in the number of optical line amplifiers used in a given network.
