Chirped fiber Bragg gratings for WDM chromatic dispersion compensation in multispan 10-Gb/s transmission

We report here the fabrication of fiber chromatic dispersion compensators, along with the tests of those components in wavelength-division-multiplexed transmission at 10 Gb/s and an analysis of their performance by simulation.
