An apparatus which compensates for dispersion in an optical transmission line. The apparatus includes a fixed dispersion compensator and a variable dispersion compensator. The fixed dispersion compensator has a fixed dispersion amount and coarsely compensates for the dispersion in the transmission line. The variable dispersion compensator has a variable dispersion amount and finely compensates for the dispersion in the transmission line. The fixed and variable dispersion compensators can be located at many positions. For example, one may be in a transmitter and the other may be in a receiver. Both may be in the transmitter and/or the receiver. One may be in either the transmitter or the receiver, with the other in an optical repeater positioned along the transmission line.
