A pulse of light spreads in time as it propagates in a fiber due to the physical phenomenon called dispersion. While dispersion can be deleterious in optical communications systems, it can also be exploited to manage the temporal and spectral shapes of pulses and their interactions with other pulses. Much of dispersion control is realized in...

Low-temperature electronics has already been studied for more than five decades . Originally the main interest was in fundamental material properties at cryogenic temperatures . Although the real benefits of operating semiconductor devices were clearly demonstrated in the 1970s, a peak in activity occurred a decade later when the cryocompute...
