Analytical expression and system simulation of eye opening penalty for chirped sampled Bragg grating dispersion compensator

This paper discusses the impairment of bandwidth cutoff and group delay jump effects to eye opening penalty of chirped sampled Bragg grating dispersion compensator at 10 and 40 Gb/s theoretically. Both analytical and numerical simulation results show that bandwidth cutoff effect is the main reason for deterioration of eye opening penalty, while group delay jump effect is negligible. Cascaded transmission simulations also show that bandwidth cutoff effect does not cause the penalty deterioration apparently when span number increases. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
