“…The filters are often based on bulk optic elements [128,132] or integrated optical waveguides [123,126] rather than fiber, although fiber-based devices have recently been demonstrated [130]. An "all-pass" filter is a resonant optical cavity that ideally has a flat amplitude response, transmitting or reflecting all incident light.…”

“…The use of this single-resonator device was severely limited by the optical bandwidth of the linear dispersion region. The next appearance of etalon compensators was in 1996 from Garthe et al [123] of BNR Europe and JDS Fitel, exploring the use of two resonators with different finesse and offset resonance in series to increase the dispersion bandwidth.…”

Chromatic dispersion compensation is an integral part of WDM transmission system design. Compensator properties such as insertion loss, dispersion slope and effective mode area have a large impact on WDM system performance due to nonlinear optical propagation effects. Dispersion compensator imperfections, such as multi-path interference, group delay ripple, insertion loss ripple and limited per-channel compensation bandwidth, place additional limitations on the achievable transmission distance and capacity. In this paper, a survey of key WDM transmission system experiments is undertaken to 1) review the development of chromatic dispersion compensation technologies, 2) discuss the device characteristics that most impact system design for each technology, and 3) hopefully enable the reader to better evaluate compensator technologies for specific applications.
