Tunable dispersion compensation at 10 Gb/s and 40 Gb/s using multicavity all-pass etalons

Abstract

Our tunable dispersion compensator devices based on multiple cavity all-pass etalons are designed to compensate all channels throughout the C- and L-bands and appropriate for 10 Gb/s and 40 Gb/s applications. Detailed characterization of devices and system experimental results will be presented.
