Abstract

We demonstrate near-transform-limited pulse generation through spectral compression arising from nonlinear propagation of negatively chirped pulses in optical fiber. The output pulse intensity and phase were quantified by use of second-harmonic generation frequency-resolved optical gating. Spectral compression from 8.4 to 2.4 nm was obtained. Furthermore, the phase of the spectrally compressed pulse was found to be constant over the spectral and temporal envelopes, which is indicative of a transform-limited pulse. Good agreement was found between the experimental results and numerical pulse-propagation studies.
