Abstract
An electromagnetic radiation emitter which utilizes a precompensator, pulsed light signal, optical fiber cable, and a terahertz radiation generator. The present invention incorporates an optical precompensator to correct for the stretching of an optical signal as it travels through an optical fiber cable. The dispersion characteristics of the precompensator will be equal and opposite to the dispersion characteristics of the optical fiber cable, maintaining the fidelity of optical pulses as they travel through and exit the optical fiber cable striking a device that generates terahertz electromagnetic radiation.
