ABSTRACT:
An optical structure and devices based thereon for the compensation of chromatic dispersion in a multi-channel light signal are provided. The optical structure includes a waveguide and a Bragg grating provided therein. The Bragg grating has a plurality of grating components, each associated with one or a few of the channels to be compensated. The period of each grating component is selected to allow compensation of chromatic dispersion experienced by this particular channel or these particluar channels, thereby taking into account the wavelength-dependent dispersion slope of the light signal.
