    Structure diagram of the dispersion-flattened waveguide.
    (a)–(c) Principle of dispersion flattening for the proposed waveguides; optical intensity distribution of the guided mode at (d) 2500 nm; (e) 3500 nm; (f) 4500 nm; (g) 5500 nm.
    Ultraflat dispersion and confinement loss of the guided mode of (a) WG1 and (b) WG2; mode concentration in upper strip, lower strip, and slab layer of (c) WG1 and (d) WG2.
    Dispersion profile of WG1 with different structural parameters changed by 1% each time around the optimum values. (a) Different W, (b) different H1, (c) different H2, and (d) different H3.
    (a) Mode overlap factor with one mode located at 3300 nm, Aeff, and γ of WG1; (b) mode overlap factor with one mode located at 4140 nm, Aeff, and γ of WG2.
