Claim 15:
16. A dynamic dispersion compensator comprising:
a cohort of a plurality of stratified structures arranged relative to each other to communicate an incident electromagnetic signal, wherein the cohort defines a group delay dispersion of the cohort and the cohort is configured to introduce a group delay dispersion to the incident electromagnetic signal and reflect a modified electromagnetic signal, wherein each stratified structure in the cohort includes a front portion and a back portion, and each stratified structure includes a plurality of adjacent layers, and each layer has a refractive index different from an immediately adjacent layer, and each stratified structure includes a backing layer at its back portion, wherein each stratified structure in the cohort defines a group delay dispersion for itself, and wherein the dynamic dispersion compensator configured to be dynamically tunable.
