TL;DR: In this article, the basic principles for use of dispersion compensating fibers (DCF) are reviewed, including definition of figure of merit and condition for dispersion slope compensation, and the main design features of a triple-cladding index profile design are examined theoretically and experimentally.

Dispersion-tailored few-mode fibers: a versatile platform for in-fiber photonic devices
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the variety of fiber devices enabled by few-mode fibers-fibers that typically support two to four modes with suitably tailored dispersive properties.

Optical Transmission Fiber Design Evolution
Ming-Jun Li,D.A. Nolan +1 more
TL;DR: This paper reviews optical fiber design evolution for transmission systems over the past three decades, including both multimode and single-modes fibers, including recent new developments in optical fiber technology.

In-line higher order mode filters based on long highly uniform fiber tapers
TL;DR: In this article, a taper-based higher order mode (HOM) filter that can effectively remove HOMs from the few-mode fibers was developed. But the HOM suppression was better than -39 dB, and the insertion loss of the fundamental mode was less than 0.15 dB.

Large angular dispersion by a virtually imaged phased array and its application to a wavelength demultiplexer.
TL;DR: A new scheme that shows large angular dispersion is proposed and demonstrated, and low polarization-state dependence (~0.1 dB) is also confirmed.

Optical fiber-based dispersion compensation using higher order modes near cutoff
TL;DR: In this paper, a spatial mode-converter is used to selectively excite a higher order mode in specially designed multimode fiber, which can be used to compensate the positive dispersion in conventional single-mode fiber spans.

Fiber Bragg gratings for dispersion compensation in transmission: theoretical model and design criteria for nearly ideal pulse recompression
TL;DR: In this paper, a transmission-based dispersion compensator employing an apodized, unchirped fiber Bragg grating (FBG) was proposed for long-haul communication systems.

A novel design of a dispersion compensating fiber
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel dispersion compensating fiber design consisting of two highly asymmetric concentric cores was proposed, which can have very large negative dispersion values with larger mode field diameter.

Chromatic-dispersion compensator using virtually imaged phased array
TL;DR: In this paper, a new method for chromatic-dispersion compensation is proposed and demonstrated, which can produce a chromatic dispersion practically in a wide range from -2000 to +2000 ps/nm and can compensate simultaneously for the dispersion of over 60 wavelength channels with 100 GHz spacing in a WDM system that has a total bandwidth of over 50 nm.
