Abstract

Delay ripples of chirped fiber Bragg gratings (CFBGs), which a CFBG can compensate 200 km long optic fiber's dispersion, have been analyzed in detail. A numerical simulation of cascaded grating delay ripples has been done by Schroedinger equation and compared with experiment of 1,000 km transmission over G652 fiber by 5 groups of CFBGs dispersion compensation. The research shows that the system degradation depends on the delay ripple period, which is 0.01~0.1nm through a lot of experiments, and amplitude of delay ripple. We had experimentally studied fluctate of power penalty depend on ripple perod of CFBGs when source wavelength changed +/-20GHz around CFBGs center wavelength, the results of theory agree well with these of experiment.
