Abstract

We have developed Parametric tunable dispersion compensator P-TDC for dispersion compensation of WDM signals with polarization insensitivity. The dispersion compensation is based upon the parametric processes in the highly non linear fibers (HNLF). This developed P-TDC compensates the dispersion of WDM signals irrespective of their state of polarization and at the same time, frequency is also preserved. We have demonstrated this dispersion compensator for the transmission of NRZ-OOK signals over 126km of DSF fiber and we have obtained the Q-factor in the range of 7.5.
