摘要
We realized the first adaptive-dispersion equalizer that equalizes dispersion over a wide wavelength range (6 nm) in the zero-dispersion wavelength region of a dispersion-shifted fiber (DSF). The equalizer is based on a pair of nonlinearly chirped fiber Bragg gratings, which are designed to equalize exactly the dispersion profile of a DSF. The dispersion changes were tracked using a technique that employs opposite dispersion fibers to identify the sign of the dispersion change. Unlike previous approaches, no additional sources or changes in the source wavelength are required. We demonstrate the adaptive equalization of the dispersion changes in an 83-km DSF, induced by temperature changes between -10 degreesC and 60 degreesC.
