Abstract
The capacity of optical communication systems is rising exponentially in order to follow the rapidly increasing demand for data traffic. Limitations due to dispersion and non-linearity in the optical fiber become more stringent for higher bit rates. For the first time, to the best of our knowledge, this document illustrates a new optical technique to post compensate optically the chromatic dispersion in fiber using temporal Talbot effect in ranges exceeding the 40 Gbit/s.
