Tunable dispersion compensator with integrated wavelength locking

We demonstrate a compact and simple silica-waveguide 10-Gb/s dispersion compensator that works with uncontrolled wavelength transmitters by tracking the signal wavelength. 10.7-Gb/s transmissions over 5100ps/nm with duobinary and 3825ps/nm with unchirped NRZ are shown.
