Abstract :
Single fibre Bragg gratings designed to compensate pure 3rd-order dispersion are demonstrated for the first time. The shown devices exhibits dispersion-profiles of -20ps/nm2, -40ps/nm2 and -225ps/nm2 over bandwidths of 4.5nm, 6nm and 3nm respectively, they have peak reflectivities of ∼75% and are only 8mm, 23mm and 40mm long.
