Abstract
Compression of higher order optical solitons in fibers with anomalous dispersion decreasing along their length is investigated. We demonstra te high-quality compression of pulses with initial soliton order 1 < N < 2 achieving compression factors over 50, using a fiber length equal to approximately one soliton period, This pulse compression technique has significant advantages over the widely reported adiabatic and sol iton-effect compression techniques.
