Abstract :
Summary form only given. In conclusion we have demonstrated a programmable-dispersion matrix. This polarisation division multiplexing (PDM), when implemented with a multiwavelength optical source in an optically controlled phased array antenna (OCPAA) system, can generate all the time delay required for beam forming.
