Abstract
In this paper, the compression experiments of picosecond optical pulse s from a gain-switched InGaAsP distributed feedback (DFB) laser at a 1 .5 mu m wavelength range using a Gires-Toumois (G-T) interferometer ar e reported. Ultrashort optical pulses with a pulsewidth of 6.6 ps, rep etition rate of 2.4 GHz, and peak power in excess of 200 mW are obtain ed. The compression ratio is close to 5. The explanation for the exper imental results is given, and the pulse's compression characteristics of a G-T interferometer are discussed by a computer simulation analysi s.
