This invention generally relates to an optical filter for a fiber optic communication system. An optical filter may be used, following a directly modulated laser source, and converts a partially frequency modulated signal into a substantially amplitude modulated signal. The optical filter may compensate for the dispersion in the fiber optic transmission medium and may also lock the wavelength of the laser source.

This invention provides a flat dispersion frequency discriminator (FDFD) capable of having a substantially flat dispersion with either a positive or negative dispersion along the spectrum region of the discriminator. This way, a FDFD may not cause substantial distortion of the intensity patter of its output to minimize the occurrence distortion due to overshooting or undershooting of the intensity pattern depending on the relative spectral alignment of the laser output relative to the filter transmission.
