A method and device is disclosed for dispersion compensation of an optical signal. By providing two filters having a sloped dispersion and opposite in sign over a wavelength band wherein one filter is tunable, a controllable amount of dispersion can be introduced to offset or compensate dispersion. Preferably one of the filters is a tunable periodic device in the form of a multi-cavity GT etalon. In a preferred embodiment of the filters can be designed to provide various controllable but different constant amounts of dispersion.
