Encoding and decoding of femtosecond pulses for code division multiple access communication systems using a pair of fiber-pigtailed pulse shapers

摘要

In conclusion, we have demonstrated encoding-decoding operation at 1.55 /spl mu/m using a pair of low loss, fiber pigtailed pulse shapers. Fiber pigtailing has the advantage of true portability and cascadability without repeated complex alignment procedures. The low insertion loss makes the pulse-shaper an attractive candidate for use in fiber communication systems which operate at low average powers.
