Abstract

A system and method for mitigating dispersion slope is capable of reducing the performance impact on an optical communication system caused by dispersion slope. The system and method receives an optical signal, demultiplexes the optical signal and optically filters the demultiplexed optical signals. The optical filters may have a bandwidth that is wide with respect to the demultiplexed optical signals and narrow with respect to the original optical signal.
