Abstract

An exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes an optical circulator. The circulator may have, for example, a first port, a second port, and a third port. The first port may be configured to introduce light into the optical circulator. The system may also include a tunable fiber filter Bragg grating connected to the second port of the circulator and a tunable dispersion-compensating fiber Bragg grating connected to the third port of the optical circulator. The tunable dispersion compensating fiber Bragg grating and the tunable fiber filter Bragg grating may be configured to be tuned by a single actuator. This tuning may be either compression or strain tuning.
