Abstract:

We present experiment results of dispersion compensation using chirped fiber grating in 1 550 nm subcarrier multiplexing (SCM) long-haul cable TV (CATV) system. By placing the dispersion compensation module (DCM) at the theoretically optimal position, better composite second order distortion (CSO) is obtained. The test results of 200 km long-haul system with and without DCM show that chirped fiber grating DCM can improve the CSO performance. 

Key words: chirped fiber grating; dispersion compensation; selfphase modulation (SPM); composite second order distortion (CSO)
