Abstract :
The fabrication of a dispersion slope equaliser on a silica-based planar lightwave circuit for 16×20 Gbit/s wavelength division multiplexing transmission is reported. This device comprises an array of sixteen equalisers with different compensation values and an arrayed-waveguide grating for wavelength multiplexing
