Abstract :
Dispersion equalizers designed to compensate for the arbitrary dispersion characteristics of optical fibers can be synthesized by cascading chirped fiber Bragg gratings and optical circulators. We have derived a synthesis rule for the equalizers and applied it to the fabrication of a third-order dispersion equalizer operating at the zero dispersion wavelength.
