Metamaterial-based optical dispersion compensation
- Detailed Technology Description
- Patent No.: 9,360,590The present disclosure relates generally to metamaterials. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to optical systems and metamaterial-based dispersion compensators (MMDC).
- *Abstract
-
A metamaterial-based dispersion compensator includes a plurality of layers arranged in a geometric structure; wherein the plurality of layers comprise engineered metamaterials; wherein the engineered metamaterials and the geometric structure are configured to compensate dispersion across a wavelength spectrum. The metamaterial-based dispersion compensator utilizes a specifically engineered frequency response, in a compact metamaterial form-factor, to correct for naturally occurring and problematic dispersion in physical systems such as in optical communication systems.
