Abstract
A device (10;150;200) is configured to receive an optical signal. The device comprises a dispersion compensator (210a) comprising a plurality of optical dispersion compensator units (220). Each optical dispersion compensator unit comprises a plurality of delay elements (20;40). The dispersion compensator (210a) is configured to selectively activate one or more of the optical dispersion compensator units (220). The dispersion compensator (210a) is configured to compensate for dispersion of the optical signal with the activated one or more optical dispersion compensator unit (200).
