Tailored Gires-Tournois etalons as tunable dispersion slope compensators.
We present a novel concept of a tailored Gires-Tournois etalon structure and show that such a device is useful for the fabrication of a dispersion-slope compensator with an almost arbitrary dispersion profile and also with tunability in the dispersion slope.
