Design of short dispersion decreasing fibre for enhanced compression of higher-order soliton pulses around 1550 nm

摘要

Compression of higher-order (N/spl sime/3) soliton pulses in standard singlemode fibre followed by compression in short dispersion decreasing fibre (DDF) can product ultra-short fundamental solitons. This design scheme uniquely enables high-quality compression of broad pulses (>30 ps) down to >142 fs over a wide input wavelength range using a remarkably short DDF (>455 m).
