Effects of nonideal characteristics of chirped fiber grating dispersion compensators on the system with different modulation formats
光栅不理想特性对不同调制码型的光传输系统的影响

The causes leading to the nonideal characteristic of the chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG ) are discussed. The impact of the group delay ripple (GDR), reflectivity ripple (RR) and bandwidth of the CFBG on the 10Gb/s transmission system where non-return-to-zero (NRZ), return-to-zero (RZ) and carrier-suppressed return-to-zero (CSRZ) formats was investigated and the CFBG employed as dispersion compensator was simulated and compared in detail. The analytical result helps to optimize the practical 1500km CFBG-based transmission and the relation between the system performance and the nonideal characteristic of the grating validated the analysis in this paper.
