Parabolic pulse generation with active or passive dispersion decreasing optical fibers
TLDR
It is shown that a hybrid configuration combining dispersion decrease and gain has several benefits on the parabolic generated pulses.Abstract:
We experimentally demonstrate the possibility to generate parabolic pulses via a single dispersion decreasing optical fiber with normal dispersion. We numerically and experimentally investigate the influence of the dispersion profile, and we show that a hybrid configuration combining dispersion decrease and gain has several benefits on the parabolic generated pulses.read more

Silica based highly nonlinear fibers to generate parabolic self-similar pulses
TL;DR: In this article, three different silica-based normal dispersion fibers are designed to identify the best possible one for efficient parabolic pulse generation, which is the best choice for fiber optic manufacturers for parabolic similariton formation due to its smaller optimum length, no effect of higher order dispersion, high nonlinearity and less input power requirement.
