Abstract
We present a comprehensive study of system impact of group delay ripples in tunable resonant dispersion compensating devices. We suggest simple criteria for estimation of the OSNR penalty caused by phase ripples and define practical characterization rules for single and multiple channel dispersion compensating devices.
