A tunable chromatic dispersion and dispersion slope compensator is proposed that has a single lattice-form filter configuration. Wavelength dependence is intentionally added to its tunable couplers, which produces dispersion slope compensation in addition to the dispersion compensation. Dispersion tunability of $\pm 500\mathrm{ps}∕\mathrm{nm}$ and a slope of $-4.9\mathrm{ps}∕{\mathrm{nm}}^2$ over $40\mathrm{GHz}$ are successfully demonstrated, thus meeting the requirement for $40\mathrm{Gbits}∕\mathrm{s}$ differential quadrature phase shift keying transmission with an $80\mathrm{km}$ long nonzero dispersion-shifted fiber.
