Abstract :
The authors demonstrate the use of apodised fibre Bragg gratings with a negative index change mean value, acting simultaneously as optical filter demultiplexers and efficient group velocity dispersion compensators in wavelength division multiplexing systems. The optimum mean value is obtained by simulation
