Abstract: This paper presents the modeling and simulation of apodized fiber Bragg grating as dispersion compensator and effect of grating length on dispersion coefficient is also observed. Grating length is a critical parameter which drastically affects the characteristics of grating. In this study, polymer coated grating has been used and results shows that as the refractive index of polymer is increased sensitivity of the grating is increased but dispersion compensation quality is reduced. Here three different apodization functions have been used for dispersion compensation among these Tanh function shows the best results as cosine function have significant no. of side lobes.
