Chromatic dispersion analysis in a WDM-PON network using FBG compensators

WDM is considered as the solution to the future on optical transmissions, there exist variations that allow an increase of performance in the network but keeping the Wavelength Division Multiplexing principle. However, the WDM-PON network transmissions may be affected by the Chromatic Dispersion (CD), found over long linked networks. One of the methods developed to solve the effects caused by CD is shown in this paper, specifically the application of post compensation using Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) implementing a topology to be simulated on Optisystem and then analyze the result obtained under different parameters of link distance and fiber type.
