Optical pulse narrowing by the spectral windowing of self-phase modulated picosecond pulses
TLDR
In this article, an extra-cavity pulse narrowing technique is demonstrated in which a frequency-swept optical pulse is compressed by the application of a spectral window, in a regime where self-phase modulation was the dominant nonlinear mechanism and group velocity dispersion and stimulated Raman scattering were negligible.About:

Optical Fiber Telecommunications
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of the literature in the field of fiber computing. But they do not discuss the theoretical aspects of fiber technologies. And they focus on the use of light-emitting Diodes (LEDs) for telecommunication.

Optical pulse compression based on enhanced frequency chirping
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that passage of an intense picosecond pulse through a singlemode optical fiber can cause the pulse to become strongly frequency broadened with a positive chirp (linear frequency sweep) describing essentially all of the energy of the output pulse.
