METHOD FOR DELAYING OPTICAL PULSES

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a system for delaying an individual light pulse or a packet of light pulses in a system comprising a waveguide, wherein the light pulse (1) is exposed to an element (2) having strong dispersion in order to separate the frequency components, wherein a frequency component is selected and extracted (3) (4) and wherein the selected frequency component is exposed to a further element (5) having a strong dispersion of the opposite sign, wherein, after passing through the further element (6) (7), the light pulse thus generated is a delayed copy of the original light pulse.
