We fabricated and characterized a tunable dispersion compensator for multiple wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) channels using a sampled nonlinearly chirped fiber Bragg grating, the channel dispersion can be adjusted from -200 to -1200 ps/nm, we demonstrate tunable dispersion compensation for th...
