1. An optical device comprising:

  • an optical communication path carrying a plurality of optical signals, each at a respective one of a plurality of wavelengths;

    a plurality of optical branching units coupled in series along said optical communication path;

    a plurality of dispersion compensating fiber segments respectively coupled to corresponding ones of said plurality of optical branching units, each of said plurality of optical signals propagating through at least one of said plurality of dispersion compensating fiber segments; and

    an optical multiplexer having a plurality of input ports and an output port, each of said plurality of input ports being coupled to a respective one of said plurality of optical branching units to receive a corresponding one of said plurality of optical signals from a respective one of said optical branching units, each of said plurality of optical signals being output through said output port of said optical multiplexer.
