Abstract
Not only linear but also non-linear chirp parameters of a gain-switche d distributed feedback (DFB) laser diode (LD) were analysed precisely. For this purpose a method has been developed to determine chirp chara cteristics from spectrally resolved streak camera images using the sho rt time Fourier transform (STFT) scheme. Using this method a systemati c study was carried out also on the dependence of the chirp parameters on the LD driving conditions, through which the importance and prelim inary principles of chirp control for the fibre optic compression sche me were clarified.
