Abstract
A higher-order dispersion compensator for tuning a polarization controlled signal having a first polarization mode dispersion component, a second order polarization mode dispersion component, and a variable chromatic dispersion component. The compensator includes a first tuning element that adjusts the first order polarization mode dispersion component of the polarization controlled signal. The compensator also includes a second tuning element that adjusts the second order polarization mode dispersion component and the variable chromatic dispersion component of the polarization controlled signal.
