Abstract

We demonstrated numerically that both the chromatic dispersion and the dispersion slope can be compensated by using purely phase-sampled superstructure fiber Bragg gratings provided both the grating period and the sampling period are chirped linearly along the grating. Adjusting the refractive index modulation and the chirp of sampling function, they can be designed to compensate dispersion of a large number of wavelength-division-multiplexing channels.
