Abstract

We explore the possibility of controlling the phase of light reflected from one-dimensional porous silicon photonic structures. By incorporating slow light effects we show it is possible to design mirrors with large negative group delay dispersion (GDD). We experimentally assess the performance of these slow-light structures for achieving dispersion compensation and pulse shaping in ultra-fast optics applications.
