Abstract
An intrinsically ultrafast, wide-band, and -range tunable dispersion
compensation (TDC) is realized through parametric wavelength conversion in
conjunction with fibers with large dispersion slope such as dispersion compensating
fibers. The proposed schemes have unique potentials that they can operate
with fast response in a truly colorless manner and are capable of producing
two orders of magnitude larger bandwidth-dispersion product than conventional
ones. After the discussions on the operating principle and design issues,
a proof-of-concept experiment is performed to verify the static operations
achieving a tunable dispersion range larger than ±280.5 ps<sup>2</sup> for 2.47 ps optical pulses.
