Broadband terahertz dispersion control in hybrid waveguides.

Dispersion control is a key objective in the field of photonics and spectroscopy, since it enhances non-linear effects by both enabling phase matching and offering slow light generation. In addition, it is essential for frequency comb generation, which requires a phase-lock mechanism that is provided by broadband compensation of group velocity dispersion (GVD). At optical frequencies, there are several well-established concepts for dispersion control such as prism or grating pairs.
