Recompression of pulses broadened by transmission through 10 km of non-dispersion-shifted fiber at 1.55 /spl mu/m using 40-mm-long optical fiber Bragg gratings with tunable chirp and central wavelength

摘要

A 40-mm-long fiber Bragg grating with both tunable chirp and central wavelength is used to recompress pulses broadened by transmission through 10.0 km of non-dispersion-shifted fiber at 1.542 /spl mu/m. 4.0-ps transform-limited pulses having an optical bandwidth of greater than 1 nm were broadened to 230 ps, and recompressed to 12 ps, showing compensation of 95% of the fiber dispersion.
