This work investigates the adiabatic compression of picosecond and subpicosecond soliton pulses from all-fiber, passively mode-locked, erbium-doped fiber soliton lasers operating at 1550 nm in dispersion-decreasing fibers (DDF's).Abstract:
We investigate the adiabatic compression of picosecond and subpicosecond soliton pulses from all-fiber, passively mode-locked, erbium-doped fiber soliton lasers operating at 1550 nm in dispersion-decreasing fibers (DDF's). High-quality soliton compression from 630 down to 115 fs in a 100-m DDF and from 3.5 down to 230 fs in a 1.6-km DDF is obtained. The effects of third-order dispersion and Raman self-scattering on the compression process are observed and discussed.read more

Several new directions for ultrafast fiber lasers [Invited].
TL;DR: The prospects for future ultrafast fiber lasers built on new kinds of pulse generation that capitalize on nonlinear dynamics are discussed, focusing primarily on three promising directions: mode-locked oscillators that use nonlinearity to enhance performance; systems that useNonlinear pulse propagation to achieve ultrashort pulses without a mode-lock oscillator; and multimode fiber lasers that exploit nonlinearities in space and time to obtain unparalleled control over an electric field.

Nonlinear pulse propagation in the neighborhood of the zero-dispersion wavelength of monomode optical fibers
TL;DR: Nonlinear pulse propagation is investigated in the neighborhood of the zero-dispersion wavelength in monomode fibers and it is found that the pulses break apart if lambda - lambda(0) is sufficiently small, owing to the third-order dispersion.

Subpicosecond all-fibre erbium laser
TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear amplifying loop mirror was converted into a laser by feedback of the output to the input through a fiber-pigtailed optical isolator, and the pump powers were low enough that laser diodes could be used for pumping.

Ultrashort-pulse propagation in optical fibers
TL;DR: A more exact model is suggested for the description of nonlinear light propagation in fibers that takes into account the Stokes losses associated with the material excitation, the dependence of non linear effects on the light frequency, and the frequency dependence of the fiber mode area.
