Dynamic adaptation of a PLC residual chromatic dispersion compensator at 40Gb/s

Continuous and error-burst free adaptation of a PLC based MZI-lattice filter to a changing dispersion was experimentally demonstrated at 40 Gb/s using an eye monitor as feedback signal. Tapping of optical power enabled separate wavelength locking.
