Abstract

Techniques, apparatus and systems for providing compensation mechanisms for mode-locked lasers and optical amplifiers and a dispersion compensation mechanism to allow a mode-locked laser and an optical amplifier to be optically coupled to each other and to share a common diffraction grating for a dispersion compensation element for the laser and a separate dispersion compensation element for the amplifier.
