Dispersion management is a critical design criterion that characterizes the performance of an optical network, and has impacted almost every aspect of the physical layer of an optical transmission line. The past 10 years have seen an explosion in the variety of device effects exploited to obtain optimal performance from dispersion compensators, and this is the first book that deals exclusively with this technology. It starts with an exposition on the fundamental physics underlying dispersion and its effects on optical pulses, followed by at least one chapter devoted to each of the fiber-based dispersion-compensating devices that have either been deployed or are considered as serious candidates for future networks. The final section of this book then describes the systems-level impact of these devices, hence providing a one-stop reference for all aspects of optical-communication-network design pertaining to dispersion-management. Each chapter is written by the leading experts in the field, drawn from both academia as well as industry. and overview -- Fiber designs for high figure of merit and high slope dispersion compensating fibers -- Design optimization of dispersion compensating fibers and their packaging techniques -- Dispersion compensating fiber used as a transmission fiber: inverse/reverse dispersion fiber -- Dispersion compensating fibers for Raman applications -- Modeling dispersion in optical fibers: applications to dispersion tailoring and dispersion compensation -- Static and tunable dispersion management with higher order mode fibers -- High-order mode based dispersion compensating modules using spatial mode conversion -- Control of dispersion in photonic crystal fibers -- Broadband fiber Bragg gratings for dispersion management -- Fiber-based tunable dispersion compensation -- Impact of DCF properties on system design -- Survey of systems experiments demonstrating dispersion compensation technologies. by Siddharth Ramachandran.
