Abstract
We present a novel modular magnetic system that can introduce a large and continuously-variable path length difference without simultaneous variation of the longitudinal dispersion. This is achieved by using a combination of an electrically-adjustable magnetic chicane and a mechanically-adjustable focus- ing chicane. We describe how such a system may be made either isochronous or with a given longitudinal dispersion, and show that the nonlinear terms in such a system are relatively small.
