Experimental verification of combined adaptive PMD and GVD compensation in a 40 Gb/s transmission using integrated optical FIR-filters and spectrum monitoring

We prove the capability of adaptive PMD compensation with integrated optical FIR-filters in lattice structure and an electrical spectrum monitoring based feedback signal in 40 Gb/s experiments. Moreover we present the combined PMD and GVD compensation.
