ABSTRACT:
A system for dispersion compensation is provided including a plurality of optical cavities with each including a specific resonant frequency and resonant linewidth. At least one coupling element interconnects the optical cavities. The at least one coupling element defines the coupling strength between the cavities. The optical cavities are interconnected with the at least one coupled element that forms a multi-cavity structure. The multi-cavity structure generates appropriate dispersion properties for dispersion compensation purposes.
