Fiber transmission characteristics of phase only pulse and its dispersion compensation in high power regime

抄録

We investigated fiber transmission characteristics of phase only pulses (POPs) that had constant intensity and pulse-shaped phase waveforms. A 10-ps-wide Gaussian-shaped POP was generated by an optical pulse synthesizer that generates arbitrary waveforms through a frequency-domain modulation. It was transmitted through a standard single mode fiber and a dispersion compensating fiber. The POP was nonlinearity-tolerant due to the constant intensity and, consequently, its initial pulse waveform was successfully regenerated by dispersion compensation even in a high power regime.
