Abstract
We investigate the adiabatic enhanced compression of ultrashort pulses from a distributed feedback laser operated at 1550 nm in fibres with slowly dec reasing dispersion (FSDD). High-quality pulse compressions from 4.4 ps down to 1.1ps in a 100m FSDD and from 4.4ps down to 830fs in a 500m FSDD are ob tained. The Raman self-frequency shift of femtosecond pulses in the compres sion is observed. Theoretical analyses are in good agreement with experimen tal results.
