Compact integrated tunable chromatic dispersion compensator with a 4000 ps/nm tuning range

A +/-2000 ps/nm continuous tuning range with low group delay ripple was demonstrated for 10 Gb/s NRZ signals using ring resonator allpass filters with diameters of 2 mm in silica-on-silicon planar waveguides.
