Abstract
A new tunable dispersion compensator that does not suffer from higher order dispersion is reported. The device consists of two quadratically chirped f iber Bragg gratings, each with linear strain actuators. The module has a tu ning range of 500 ps/nm and a bandwidth of 0.5 nm. In a 40-Gb/s return-to-z ero system, the dispersion penalty tolerance is extended from 100 to 600 ps /nm.
