Abstract :
We present simple analytical expressions which relate fiber grating group-delay ripples to system performance and allow the estimation of expected penalties. Experiments show excellent agreement with our theory. A WDM transmission experiment shows that the system performance can be drastically improved if the channels are slightly detuned in wavelength
