160 Gb/s sub-picosecond transform-limited pulse signal generationutilizing adiabatic soliton compression and optical time-divisionmultiplexing

0.8 ps TL pulses are successfully generated from a gain-switched DFB-LD by adiabatic soliton compression using a dispersion decreasing fiber (DDF). The compression ratio can be controlled using the peak input power into the DDF. We obtain a 10×2ⁿ Gb/s pulse stream by optically multiplexing the compressed pulses with a Mach-Zehnder (MZ) interferometer type multiplexer, in which n can be freely selected from 1 to 4 by controlling the coupling ratios of the couplers in the MZ interferometers. By using the demonstrated techniques, we can multiplex the initial pulse stream up to 160 Gb/s at the noninterfering duty factor of 0.2

Optical Pulse Compression Based on High-doped Erbium Fiber Amplifier and Standard Single-mode Fiber

Proposed is a novel optical pulse compression technique based on high-doped erbium fiber amplifier and standard single-mode fiber（SMF）. We used the amplifier with the erbium ion concentration of 6.3）〈 10^-3 to amplify a hyperbolic secant pulse from a regeneratively mode-locked fiber laser. The central wavelength, pulsewidth and peak power of the pulse are 1 550 nm, 12. 5 ps and 3 mW, respectively. Then the amplified pulse with peak power level corresponding to a higher-order soliton is compressed when it propagates through a 3-km-long single-mode fiber. Studied are the compressed pulses under different pump powers and fiber lengths. The results show that it can get a narrower pulse, and solve the difficulty that pulses at low power can not be compressed directly in the fiber. And the construct is compact.

Ultrashort pulse propagation, pulse breakup, and fundamental soliton formation in a single-mode optical fiber

The propagation of ultrashort (0.83 ps), intense dye laser pulses through a single-mode optical fiber is investigated. The input wavelength is tuned in the vicinity of the zero dispersion wavelength of the fiber. Although the input power is sufficient to generate solitons of up to the tenth order we do not observe the formation of high-order solitons. Instead, the input pulse breaks up temporally and spectrally after an initial stage of narrowing, and an ultrashort Stokes pulse is formed which shifts continuously to lower frequencies with increasing fiber length. The parameters of this pulse closely correspond to those of the fundamental soliton solution of the nonlinear Schroedinger equation. Using fiber lengths from a few meters up to 1 km the resulting pulse durations lie between 55 and 410 fs and the corresponding wavelengths between 1.36 and 1.54 μm. Numerical simulations solving a modified nonlinear Schroedinger equation including higher order dispersion and the Raman effect are in good agreement with the experimental results. It is shown that the principal soliton pulse shaping mechanisms are pulse narrowing and the soliton self-frequency shift.     

Numerical investigation on spectral compression of femtosecond soliton in a dispersion-increasing fiber

The spectral compression performance of the fundamental soliton in a dispersion-increasing fiber is investigated through numerically solving the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Based on the calculation results, we detailedly analyze the influence of the input peak power, the fiber length, and the initial chirping on the output pulse, e.g. the spectral width, the spectral width ratio, and the center wavelength. The calculation results show that spectral compression from 12.6 nm to 5.2 nm, can be realized for the soliton with pulse width of 200 fs and center wavelength of 1550 nm propagating in the dispersion-increasing fiber with length of 100 m and the group-velocity dispersion parameter linearly varying from −1 ps²/km to −11 ps²/km.

110-pJ and 410-fs pulse at 10 GHz generated by single-stage external fiber compression of optically injection-mode-locked semiconductor optical amplifier fiber laser

We demonstrate the high-power amplification and single-stage fiber-based pulse compression of a traveling-wave semiconductor optical amplifier (TWSOA) fiber ring laser (SOAFL), which is optically mode-locked by backward injecting the TWSOA with a dark-optical-comb at repetition frequency of 10 GHz. A negatively chirped SOAFL pulsewidth of 5.4 ps is compensated and shortened to 3.9 ps by a 75-m-long dispersion compensating fiber. With a single-stage pulse compression in a single-mode-fiber spool, the SOAFL pulses with input average power of 1.7 W can further be compressed to a pulsewidth of 410 fs, corresponding to a pulse compressing ratio of nearly ten. The maximum average output power of the amplified SOAFL pulse is up to 1.1 W, corresponding to the peak power and pulse energy of >0.27 kW and 110 pJ, respectively.
