Abstract
Simultaneous pulse compression and mode selection of gain-switched pul ses from a Fabry-Perot semiconductor laser are demonstrated using a ch irped optical fiber Bragg grating, which has transformed initially chi rped 60-ps pulses from an inexpensive multimode laser into a train of 12-ps single-mode pulses with a side-mode suppression ratio of 15.2 dB .
