The invention relates to methods of producing and improving an optical
transmission line comprising the combination of a line optical fiber and
an original or modified module for compensating the chromatic dispersion
of said line optical fiber. The modified compensation module is a module
for compensating chromatic dispersion of a line optical fiber (1) in a
plurality of contiguous and non-overlapping spectral bands each covering
at least 30 nanometers, the module including a structure (9) carrying a
plurality of submodules (4, 8) at least one of which is separable from
the structure (9), which are disposed in series, which are interconnected
by one or more connections (6) identifiable to the naked eye without
optical measurement and accessible from the exterior without damaging the
module, and each of which includes a support to which is fixed at least
one optical fiber (2, 7) for compensating chromatic dispersion, at least
one optical fiber (2) of said plurality of compensation optical fibers
(2, 7) having a compensation ratio from 0.9 to 1.1 for the center
wavelength of one of said spectral bands, and at least two submodules (4,
8) having compensation optical fibers (2, 7) of different kinds.
