| Abstract: | Phase ripple impairments induced through cascaded fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are discussed for 42.8-Gb/s transmission. We show the feasibility of transmission over 1140 km (12 times 95 km) using return-to-zero differential quadrature phase-shift keying modulation and FBG-only dispersion compensation. We further compare FBGs with dispersion-compensating fiber for dispersion compensation and analyze the influence of wavelength detuning. |
