Abstract :
Experimental results of time delay ripples in dispersion compensating fiber Bragg gratings fabricated with either holographic or electron-beam written 10-cm-long phase masks are presented. Deviations from linear phase delay are dependent upon UV exposure uniformity and phase mask errors.
