Research on Application of Tunable Dispersion Compensation Technology in Optical Fiber Communication Systems

Abstract

For high bit-rate optical communications system, the changes in temperature or power fluctuations are due to the dispersion of the dispersion tolerance than the system. Therefore, the dispersion compensation unit must have the functionality to adapt to the dynamic generation of tunable optical communication network development. This article describes several dynamic tunable compensation techniques and the basic principles of the performance characteristics of the situation at home and abroad, including the chirped fiber grating method, the virtual image phased array method, GT interferometer method, the array method and the planar waveguide grating method, and a brief discussion of tunable dispersion compensation technology in the future direction of development.
