Abstract
Higher order chirp compensation of optical short pulses by using two t ypes of optical fibers with different group-velocity dispersions was t heoretically and experimentally investigated in detail. By optimizing the lengths of two types of optical fibers, both second- and third-ord er dispersion of chirped optical pulses were found to be simultaneousl y compensated. Pulse-compression experiments with chirped optical puls es from a mode-locked laser diode demonstrated using this technique at tained nearly transform-limited, 500-fs pulse generation.
