Abstract :
A concept for dispersion compensation in transmission is proposed, based on modes anti-crossing in photonic crystal (PC) line-defect waveguides. Quasi-constant positive and negative dispersion is possible in order of 100 ps/nm/mm on the bandwidth of 100 GHz. An adiabatic taper is proposed for efficient coupling into PC structure.
