Abstract

In this letter, we demonstrate an adjustable dispersion slope compensator for waveform distortion compensation based on a nonlinearly strain-chirped fiber Bragg grating. The dispersion slope of the device can be tuned up to -18.9 ps/nm/sup 2/ with a bandwidth >2.4 nm. After transmission through a 120-km-long dispersion-shifted fiber, the resulting waveform distortion for a 2.65-ps pulse is successfully compensated by using this device.
