High-quality pulse compressions from 4.4 ps down to 1.1ps in a l00m FSDD and from 4.4ps down to 830fs in a 500m FSDD are obtained. The Raman self frequency shift of femtosecond pulses in the compression is observed. Theoretical analyses are in good agreement with experimental results.展开更多

It is found that the TOD effect destroys orthogonal polarization modes in optical birefringent fibres. A new method is proposed to compensate for the PMD by means of cascading the fibres with the positive and negative TOD. This has proven to be practicable in long transmissions.展开更多

Polarization soliton compression along the slow axis can be enhanced in birefringent fibres with positive third-order dispersion, and the polarization soliton compression along the fast axis can be enhanced in fibres with negative third-order dispersion. Moreover, the third-order dispersion parameter can be optimized to obtain the optimal pulse compression.展开更多
