Abstract

Dynamic dispersion-slope compensation is accomplished using two coupled four-cavity all pass filters in a multi-reflection configuration. The dispersion-slope is adjustable between -0.37 ps³ and -3.2 ps³ over a 10 nm compensation bandwidth and the center wavelength is tuneable over a 10 nm range by adjustment of the input angle.
