1. An optical processing system for altering the phase of the frequency components of channel optical signals traveling in different WDM channels so as to reduce chromatic dispersion effects in the channel optical signals, comprising:

  • a wavelength division demultiplexer for demultiplexing the channel optical signals;

    a plurality of optical fibers connected to the wavelength division demultiplexer each for carrying one of the demultiplexed channel optical signals;

    polarization-independent chromatic dispersion compensation means arranged in each optical fiber for independently performing chromatic dispersion compensation of each channel optical signal;
