ABSTRACT A novel solution for polarization mode dispersion (PMD) compensation is proposed by applying tension on a tapered high-birefringence linearly chirped fiber Bragg grating. The compensated differential group delay changes with the applied tension, for its cross-sectional area varies nonlinearly along the grating. Its performance as PMD compensator for short pulses fiber-optical transmission system and 10 Gb/s NRZ fiber-optical transmission system is demonstrated experimentally.
