Abstract
The proposed application of Bragg fiber gratings1 for dispersion correction2 has been established for many years. With improved techniques for the production of efficient chirped Bragg gratings (Ref. 3 and references therein), considerable effort has recently been directed towards dispersion correction in long distance4 and short-distance/very-high-capacity optical communication. Since the gratings operate in reflective mode, a 6-dB minimum loss is inherent in the simplest coupling scheme utilizing a 3-dB coupler.
