ADAPTIVE FEEDBACK CONTROL METHOD FOR POLARIZATION MODE DISPERSION OR CHROMATIC DISPERSION COMPENSATION

摘要

A method for controlling a dispersion compensation in optical communications is disclosed. The illustrative method includes receiving a first measurement of dispersion at a first step; receiving a second measurement of dispersion at a second step; calculating a gradient of dispersion between the first measurement of dispersion and the second measurement of dispersion; and sending a command to a dispersion compensator based on the value of the gradient.
