N2 - In this article, a temperature compensation system based on tensile strain induction is proposed. This method is applicable in zero-dispersion shifted optical fiber (ZDSF) and dispersion flattened optical fiber (DFF). In order for assessment of the operation of the proposed technique for compensation, the single-mode step index ZDSF is designed. The broadening factor is minimized at the wavelength of 1.55μm so as to adjust the zero-dispersion wavelength (λZD). The simulation results admit that the dispersion and its slope at 1.55μm are 0.0028ps/km/nm and 0.070ps/km/nm2, respectively. This dispersion slope results in the bit rate of 110 Gb/s in the 100km distance at λZD. Furthermore, the effect of temperature variation and applied external tensile strain on its characteristics are investigated. Through the employment of tensile strain as a compensator, the effective refractive index (neff) profile versus wavelength is preserved in λZD as well as all communication bands. The result is thermal impact removal from parameters such as dispersion and zero-dispersion wavelength.
