Abstract

Without using any additional SBS suppression means, 40 GHz 33% RZ pulse train generated by external modulation of a DFB laser diode output was successfully compressed to high-quality 1.3 ps transform-limited soliton pulses using adiabatic soliton compression in 5.45 km long DDF with high SBS threshold. Using the same fiber, as short as 870 fs low-pedestal soliton pulses were produced by higher-order soliton pulse compression.
