INTEGRATED ADAPTIVE CHROMATIC DISPERSION/POLARIZATION MODE DISPERSION COMPENSATION SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention is directed to an integrated system for performing dispersion compensation on wavelength channels in WDM or DWDM transmissions. The system includes a tunable integrated dispersion compensation module that performs chromatic dispersion compensation and polarization mode dispersion compensation on each of the wavelength channels in the transmission. Feedback is used to adjust the tunable integrated dispersion compensation module until receiver performance is optimized.
