| Abstract: | A method for fabrication of a novel type of optical fiber with dispersion varying along the fiber length is described. The method takes into account the calculated dependence of fiber dispersion on fiber core diameter for the measured profile of the preform and the desirable dispersion dependence on the fiber length. The main optical parameters of the drawn fiber are theoretically studied and experimentally measured. The fibers are of great interest for nonlinear fiber optics. Such applications of the fibers, such as high-quality soliton pulse compression, soliton pulsewidth stabilization through compensation of losses, and generation of a high-repetition-rate train of practically uninteracting solitons, are considered |
