Abstract
Conference Title: 2016 18th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON) Conference Start Date: 2016, July 10 Conference End Date: 2016, July 14 Conference Location: Trento, Italy The performance of Chromatic Dispersion Compensator (CDC) based on optimized CFBG apodization profile is presented. With optimized apodization profile, optimum value of dispersion can be obtained with sufficient operating bandwidth and minimum ripple. The design presents -2995 ps/nm dispersion at around 2019.8 nm center wavelength and 0.675 nm 3-dB bandwidth. Linear region of group delay is 0.57 nm that cover 84% of 3-dB bandwidth.
