High-frequency pulse train generation in dispersion-decreasing fibre: using experimental data for the metrology of longitudinally nonuniform fibre

Abstract This paper describes experiments concerned with pulse train generation from initially modulated cw light in an anomalous dispersion decreasing fibre. We have obtained stable contrast trains of subpicosecond pulses with a repetition rate in the range 100 – 300 GHz and demonstrated generation...

Summary:Abstract This paper describes experiments concerned with pulse train generation from initially modulated cw light in an anomalous dispersion decreasing fibre. We have obtained stable contrast trains of subpicosecond pulses with a repetition rate in the range 100 – 300 GHz and demonstrated generation of an optical comb spectrum with a –20-dB width of up to 80 nm. A method has been proposed for reconstructing an unknown dispersion profile of a longitudinally nonuniform fibre by comparing experimental data and numerical simulation results.
