In this paper the measurement of chromatic dispersion in a novel Side-hole PCF is reported. We chose a simple technique based on a Michelson interferometer. The results open the possibility of tunable chromatic dispersion compensators.

The diffractive properties of amplitude masks using polar Walsh functions as transmittance were studied. A digital micromirror device was used for amplitude light modulation and potential applications in micromanipulation and imaging were discussed.
