Abstract
It is demonstrated in this communication that using an acousto-optic i nteraction in an anisotropic birefringent medium it is possible to pro duce a chirped optical signal reproducing an original acoustic signal. This acoustic signal can then be used to generate a pre-distorted opt ical signal at the input of a laser chain to compensate for group dela y time dispersions within the chain. The first experiments achieved wi th such a device are reported. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
