Abstract
Previous chirped fibre grating dispersion compensation experiments have been limited by the available grating length to maximum distances of 160km or less [1,2], We describe (a) a novel technique to chirp a long, axially uniform optical fibre Bragg grating, (b) use of such a chirped, 120mm grating to obtain transmission at 1.54μm through 270km of non-dispersion-shifted fibre at 10Gbit/s, and (c) first demonstration of chirped fibre grating compensation in a directly modulated system over 209km at 2.5Gbit/s.
