Dispersion correction with a robust fiber grating cover the full c-band at 10-gb/s rates with <0.3-dB power penalties

Robust wide-bandwidth fiber Bragg gratings have been produced for use as dispersion compensators that yield <0.3-dB power penalties due to distortion over an 80-km transmission fine of nonzero dispersion-shifted fiber in a 10-Gb/s nonreturn-to-zero optical communications system.
