Abstract:
1. An apparatus for manipulating optical pulses, the apparatus comprising: a first optical waveguide with a first input for receiving one or more optical pulses; a plurality of resonator structures, each of the resonator structures optically coupled to, but spaced from the first optical waveguide; a pulse shaping system comprising a refractive index adjustment system that changes a refraction index of one or more of the resonator structure and a finesse value adjustment system that changes a finesse value of one or more of the resonator structures by adjusting a position of at least one of the resonator structures with respect to the first optical waveguide; and a control system that controls the refractive index adjustment system and the finesse value adjustment system to control a manipulation of one or more optical pulses on the first optical waveguide.
