Abstract
We propose and demonstrate a compact tunable optical dispersion compensation (TODC) device with a free spectral range capable of mitigating chromatic dispersion impairments. The TODC is based on longitudinal movement of a waveguide grating router, resulting in chromatic dispersion compensation of . We employed our TODC device for compensating differential phase-shifting keying signal, transmitted over fiber with a power penalty at .
