    Abstract: A terahertz (THz) switch consisting of perfect conductor metamaterials is discussed in this invention. Specifically, we have built a THz logic block by combining two double-sided corrugated waveguides capable of slowing down the electromagnetic waves in the THz regime with a sub-wavelength cavity, having one or more grooves with shorter height than the grooves of the periodic corrugated waveguide. This new type of THz structure is called as the waveguide-cavity-waveguide (WCW). The new invention is based on our mathematical modeling and experimentation that confirms a strong electromagnetic field accumulation inside the tiny cavity which can confine EM field for a long time within a very small effective volume (Veff) to provide high quality (Q) factor. Therefore, an efficient THz switch can be designed to achieve ON-OFF switching functionality by modulating the refractive index n or extinction coefficient α inside the switching junction. The dimensions of the periodic structure and cavity can be optimized to apply the invention to slow-EM wave devices working at other frequencies in the EM spectrum including the microwave and outside the THz domain which is generally accepted as from 0.3 THz to 3 THz.

    Abstract: In a method and system for providing dispersion compensation in an optical system, there is coupled into the optical system at least one pathway into which there is connected a tunable chirped fiber Bragg grating, each such grating providing a respective tunable amount of dispersion. At least one respective DGD element is connected into the respective pathway for each such grating. The set of all such respective DGD elements in a given pathway introduces a bias differential group delay DGD(bias) having an absolute value that, for at least one tuning value of the grating, is substantially equal to differential group delay introduced by the grating.

    Abstract: An optical splitter (1) includes a circulator (10) and a dynamic FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) (20) which can achieve different reflection ratios corresponding to the size of a current in the dynamic FBG. The circulator has three ports. One port (P0) connects with an input optical fiber, one port (P3) connects with the dynamic FBG, and the third port (P2) connects with an output optical fiber. Light input from the circulator to the dynamic FBG and is dynamically split into two beams. One beam is output from an output port (P1) of the dynamic FBG, the other beam is reflected by the dynamic FBG and is output from the output port (P2) of the circulator.
