5.94 Tb/s capacity of a multichannel tunable -700 to -1200 ps/nm dispersion compensator

The capacity limit of a thermally controlled fiber Bragg grating-based chromatic dispersion compensator is investigated. An equivalent quasi error-free 5.94 Tb/s capacity is demonstrated when dispersion of up to 73.8 km of SSMF is compensated. (2 pages)
