Dispersion and Dispersion Slope Compensation of an Optical Delay Line Filter (DLF) based on Mach-Zehnder Interferometers

摘要

Design and analysis on 10 Gb/s single channel transmission in standard Single Mode Fiber (SMF) for dispersion compensation of an optical Delay Line Filter (DLF) in signal processing applications have been implemented and realized using Mach-Zehnder Interferometers based on integrated photonics. Two approaches viz dispersion compensation and dispersion slope compensation are studied. The filter along with the fiber optic link is simulated in OptiSystem tool and the link parameters such as Eye Pattern, Maximum Q factor and Minimum BER are determined.
