Broadband fiber dispersion compensation for sub-100-fs pulses with a compression ratio of 300.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report what is, to our knowledge, the first experimental demonstration of nearly dispersion-free transmission of sub-100-fs pulses over several tens of meters of fiber. 62-fs pulses are broadened initially and recompressed by a ratio of 300 over a 42-m concatenated fiber link consisting of standard single-mode and dispersioncompensating fibers. This dispersion-compensated fiber link is estimated to have a third-order dispersion ~6 times lower than that of dispersion-shifted fiber.

Adaptive Dispersion Compensation for Remote Fiber Delivery of NIR Femtosecond Pulses
We report on remote delivery of 25 pJ broadband nearinfrared femtosecond light pulses from a Ti:sapphire laser through 150 meters of single-mode optical fiber. Pulse distortion due to dispersion is overcome with precompensation using adaptive pulse shaping techniques, while nonlinearities are mitigated using an SF10 rod for the final stage of pulse compression. Near transform limited pulse dura...
متن کاملSub-100-fs 1.87 GHz mode-locked fiber laser using stretched-soliton effects
Current pulsed fiber lasers that are capable of delivering stable sub-100-fs pulses at megahertz repetition rates require intracavity pulse energies in the nanojoule range. Scaling these lasers to gigahertz repetition rates necessitates, therefore, very high average power levels and complex cladding-pumped configurations. Here we report a type of stretchedsoliton all-fiber laser that generates ...
متن کاملSub-100 fs pulses from an all-polarization maintaining Yb-fiber oscillator with an anomalous dispersion higher-order-mode fiber.
We present an Yb-fiber oscillator with an all-polarization-maintaining cavity with a higher-order-mode fiber for dispersion compensation. The polarization maintaining higher order mode fiber introduces not only negative second order dispersion but also negative third order dispersion in the cavity, in contrast to dispersion compensation schemes used in previous demonstrations of all-polarizatio...
متن کاملPulse compression of submillijoule few-optical-cycle infrared laser pulses using chirped mirrors.
We report generation of 400 microJ, 13.1 fs, 1425 nm optical parametric amplifier laser pulses. Spectral broadening of a 100 Hz optical parametric amplifier laser source is achieved by self-phase modulation in an argon-filled hollow-core fiber, and dispersion compensation is performed using chirped mirrors. This laser source will be useful for ultrafast time-resolved molecular orbital tomography.
متن کاملFiber Transmission for Sub-500-fs Pulses Using a Dispersion-Compensating Fiber
We report transmission of 60-fs and 245-fs pulses, respectively, over 42-m and 2.5-km fiber links which consist of standard single-mode fibers (SMF) concatenated with dispersion-compensating fibers (DCF). The experiments using very short pulses ( 60 fs) over a short fiber length ( 42 m) demonstrate the ability to achieve simultaneous dispersion and dispersion slope compensation using this techn...
