Adjustable dispersion-compensation devices with wavelength tunability based on enhanced thermal chirping of fiber Bragg gratings

We demonstrate a dispersion compensation device based on thermal chirping of a glued fiber Bragg grating. The device can change the group velocity dispersion (GVD) while maintaining a center wavelength or change the center wavelength while preserving a GVD value. The GVD can be tuned from -122.5 to -57 ps/nm with a center wavelength at 1552.9 nm. On the other hand, the center wavelength can be shifted by 2.2 nm with a GVD value around -105 ps/nm.     

Tunable dispersion compensation at 40-Gb/s using a multicavity etalon all-pass filter with NRZ, RZ, and CS-RZ modulation

We present a multichannel tunable dispersion compensator (TDC) based on multicavity all-pass etalons that is capable of operation at 40 Gb/s. The device has a tuning range of +200/-220 ps/nm with a group delay ripple < /spl plusmn/5 ps over a channel bandwidth of 80 GHz, an overall loss of < 5.2 dB, very low insertion loss ripple, and can operate on any channel on a 200-GHz grid over the C-band. In addition, we present system performance results at 40 Gb/s using NRZ, RZ, and CS-RZ modulation, compensating up to 45 km of nonzero dispersion shifted fiber (NZDSF). Our results show that this device introduces very little excess system penalty with signal frequency drifts of up to 20 GHz when operated near the center of its tuning range. For single channel experiments with fiber, the system penalty increase versus signal detuning is more significant, but can be reduced by dynamically optimizing the device dispersion during detuning. Finally, we demonstrate simultaneous compensation of 4 channels across the C-band over 25 km of NZDSF.     

Electrically tunable dispersion compensator with fixed center wavelength using fiber Bragg grating

We present the design and development of a novel tunable dispersion compensator with fixed center wavelength that is based on the electrical adjustment of the chirp of a fiber Bragg grating (FBG). Both temperature gradient and strain gradient are employed to adjust the chirp of the FBG jointly. The electrical current flowing through the taper on-fiber thin-film heater will introduce a temperature gradient on the FBG. The shrinkage of a negative thermal expansion coefficient (NTEC) ceramic due to the temperature rise will compress the tapered FBG mounted inside it, and this will introduce a strain gradient on the FBG. The center wavelength of the FBG will be kept fixed because the effect of temperature rise on the FBG and the effect of compression of the FBG will offset each other. Applying an electrical power of less than 0.68 W, we demonstrate a linearly chirped FBG whose dispersion can be continuously adjusted from -178 ps/nm to -302 ps/nm with a central wavelength shift of as small as 0.16 nm.     

Compensation of dispersion in optical fibers for the 1.3-1.6 μmregion with a grating and telescope

The transmission of ultrashort optical pulses over long distances in optical fibers is limited by pulse broadening due to group velocity dispersion. A grating and telescope dispersion compensator with group velocity dispersion of equal magnitude and opposite sign can compensate for the fiber dispersion. The possible benefits of such dispersion compensation in the 1.3-1.6-μm wavelength region are investigated. The results show that compensation of first-order dispersion at 1.55 μm in a fiber with zero dispersion near 1.3 μm is primarily limited by the second-order dispersion of the grating and the telescope compensator. For a wavelength slightly greater than the zero dispersion wavelength, both the first- and second-order group velocity dispersion can be canceled by the grating and telescope dispersion compensator, allowing transmission exceeding 100 Gb/s over 100 km     

A tunable four-channel fiber Bragg grating dispersion compensator

A tunable four-channel dispersion compensator is achieved using fiber Bragg grating technology and applying a temperature gradient along the grating. Any dispersion from -370 to -1420 ps/nm could be obtained.     

An chromatic dispersion monitoring method based on spectral-shift of SOA

A remnant dispersion monitoring method based on spectral-shift of SOA in high speed optical communication system with CSRZ format and single channel speed of 40 Gbit/s is proposed. The system performance can be optimized by careful choosing bandwidth and center wavelength of the optical fiber grating filter. The dynamical monitoring range is ±60 ps/nm and the monitoring precision is about 5 ps/nm. This method can be suitable for the application in dynamical dispersion compensation of high speed optical communication systems.     

Fiber design for broad-band gain-flattened Raman fiber amplifier

We report here a novel fiber design which has inherently flattened effective Raman gain spectrum, with a relative 3-dB bandwidth of /spl sim/90 nm. Gain-flattened broad-band amplification can be achieved in any wavelength band by suitably choosing the fiber parameters and the pump wavelength. Simulations show that the proposed fiber also has high negative dispersion coefficient /spl sim/(-300 to -600) ps/km /spl middot/ nm in the operating range of wavelength. Hence, the designed fiber serves the purpose of a gain-flattened broad-band amplifier and dispersion compensator.     

Nonlinearly strain-chirped fiber Bragg grating with an adjustabledispersion slope

In this letter, we demonstrate an adjustable dispersion slope compensator for waveform distortion compensation based on a nonlinearly strain-chirped fiber Bragg grating. The dispersion slope of the device can be tuned up to -18.9 ps/nm² with a bandwidth >2.4 nm. After transmission through a 120-km-long dispersion-shifted fiber, the resulting waveform distortion for a 2.65-ps pulse is successfully compensated by using this device     

Tunable dispersion compensator based on a fiber Bragg grating written in a tapered fiber

We report a novel dispersion tunable device for first-order dispersion compensation. It is based on a fiber Bragg grating written in a tapered fiber with a specific profile. The taper profile allows tuning the dispersion of the grating by stretching the fiber while the linearity of the group delay is preserved. A device with 0.8 nm of useful bandwidth and dispersion value tunable over more than 400 ps/nm is reported.
