Ka. Ahmed et al., NEARLY TRANSFORM-LIMITED PULSE (3.6 PS) GENERATION FROM GAIN-SWITCHED1.55-MU-M DISTRIBUTED-FEEDBACK LASER BY USING FIBER COMPRESSION TECHNIQUE, Electronics Letters, 29(1), 1993, pp. 54-56
A train of short and nearly transform-limited pulses (3.6 ps) is gener
ated from a 1.55 mum gain-switched distributed feedback laser by fibre
compression. These are the shortest pulses generated at 1.55 mum by u
sing a linear fibre compression technique. The bias current dependence
of pulse width and time bandwidth product is also investigated.
