Abstract
We propose a new technique for producing W-induced chirped fiber Bragg gratings for dispersion compensation by using a standard unchirped ph ase mask. The realization of apodised chirped Bragg gratings with a co ntrolled bandwidth and a linear time delay characteristic is reported. These devices have been used to compensate for dispersion in a 190-km -long link (non-dispersion-shifted fiber) operating at a 10 Gbit/s tra nsmission rate in the 1.55-mu m band.
