It is shown that tailored breaking of the translational symmetry through weak scattering in waveguides and optical fibers can control chromatic dispersions of the individual modes at any order; thereby, it overcomes the problem of coherent classical and quantum signal transmission at long distances. The methodology is based on previously developed quantum control techniques and gives an analytic solution in ideal scattering conditions; it has been also extended to incorporate and correct non…

Dispersion cancellation using linearly chirped Bragg grating filters in optical waveguides.

The use of a linearly chirped Bragg grating filter for dispersion cancellation in an optical-fiber link is discussed and calculations show that, with the proper taper function, the filter can have a high reflectivity and a quasi-constant nonzero dispersion, proportional to the inverse of the chirp.

Zero dispersion at small group velocities in photonic crystal waveguides

Modes of photonic crystal (PC) line-defect waveguides can have small group velocity away from the Brillouin zone edge. This property can be explained by the strong interaction of the modes with the…

Principal modes in multimode waveguides.

It is shown that principal modes are generally different from eigenmodes, even in uniform waveguides, unlike the special case of a single-mode fiber with uniform birefringence, and may provide a new basis for analysis and control of dispersion in multimode fiber systems.

The underlying self-imaging principle in multimode waveguides is described using a guided mode propagation analysis and it is shown that multimode interference couplers offer superior performance, excellent tolerance to polarization and wavelength variations, and relaxed fabrication requirements when compared to alternatives such as directional coupling.
