Part of the book series: Optical and Fiber Communications Reports ((OFCR,volume 3))

Abstract

The use of electro-optic phase modulation of dispersed optical pulses is investigated for compensating higher-order chromatic dispersion effects. The capability and limitations of the technique are described for compensating third- and fourth-order dispersion terms.
