Abstract :
The effect of nonideal dispersion and reflection characteristics of chirped fiber gratings on the performance of 10-Gb/s nonreturn-to-zero-transmission systems operating over standard fiber is investigated. The system penalty for different amplitude and period ripples are quantified. Analyses of an experimental grating confirm that current fabrication technology can meet the requirements for <1-dB-penalty operation.
