Pulse Compressor

The Pulse Compressor from 3M Co. of Austin, Texas, manages the chromatic dispersion that can limit transmission speeds in optical communications systems. Earlier solutions required the use of bulky modules with dispersion-compensating fiber, which has high optical attenuation and increased optical linear effects. Suitable for metropolitan systems, the device corrects for high amounts of dispersion with low optical insertion loss, requiring fewer optical amplifiers. Sub-sea system designers can use it to match the large residual dispersion accumulated over thousands of kilometers of...Read full article
