Abstract
An optical component is described. The optical component includes a light distribution component having a light signal carrying region for carrying a light signal through the light distribution component. The optical component also includes a functional region positioned in the light distribution component such that the light signal carrying region extends through at least a portion of the functional region. The index of refraction of the light signal carrying region inside of the functional region is different from the index of refraction of the light signal carrying region outside of the functional region. Additionally, the functional region is shaped such that the dispersion profile of the light signal changes in response to traveling through the functional region. In some instances, the light distribution component has the geometry of a star coupler or a Rowland circle.
