Low-loss glass fibers are a prospective transmission medium for optical communication
systems. To study their dispersion characteristics, we investigated the propagation of short …

Broadening of short optical pulses propagated along 10.4-and 6-km-long single-mode fibers
was measured at a wavelength of 1.293 μm. The fiber core was made of germanium-doped …

We describe a novel technique for measuring pulse delay in single-mode fibers. Relative
time delay changes between different wavelengths are used to determine dispersion on …

Subpicosecond optical pulses propagating in single-mode fibers are severely distorted by
third-order dispersion even at the fiber's zero-dispersion wavelength (lambda/sub 0/). Using …

Subnanosecond pulses in the 1120–1550-nm region are generated by multiple-order
stimulated Raman scattering in a small core single-mode silica fiber pumped by a Q …

We report a strong spectral broadening of femtosecond pulses propagating in a single-mode
As-S glass fiber of 1.5 m length. The pump pulse spectrum is broadened by a factor of five …

The power-dependent pulsewidth variations for input 85 ps pulses from a cw mode-locked
Nd: YAG laser propagating through 125 m of single-mode optical fibre have been examined …

We describe the use of a mode-locked color-center laser to demonstrate nearly
distortionless propagation of~ 5-psec-wide, Fourier-transform-limited pulses, at or near the …

We demonstrate that, in the presence of noise, propagation of narrow-band 100-ns pulses
through a 6-km long optical fibre sharply reduces their amplitude when a threshold power …

Bandwidth measurements of a short plastic optical fibre (POF) are reported. We measured
under different coupling conditions using a second-harmonic Nd: YAG laser as the pulse …
