1.3 m long super-step-chirped fibre Bragg gratingwith a continuous delay of 13.5 ns and bandwidth 10 nm for broadband dispersioncompensation

The authors propose a 1.3 m long super-step-chirped fibre grating with a continuous delay of 13.5 ns and bandwidth of 10 nm for broadband dispersion compensation. Gratings of 0.2, 0.5 and 0.7 m in length are also reported for the first time.
