Abstract
It is shown for the first time that the group delay characteristics of chirped fibre Bragg gratings show a symmetry when measured from eithe r direction. It is shown that the dispersion of a chirped grating cann ot be completely compensated by another identical grating. This has im plications on the quality of apodisation required for dispersion compe nsation. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
