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 …

A new technique for achieving distortion-free pulse propagation through single-mode optical
fibers is demonstrated. Mode-locked dye-laser pulses with 3.3-psec pulse widths and a …

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 …

The propagation of high-peak-power (> 10-kW) sub-100-fs pulses near the zero-dispersion
wavelength of an optical fiber was studied experimentally. Four-photon mixing and …

We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically that frequency-modulated femtosecond
laser pulses can be spectrally narrowed by self-phase modulation in optical fibers. We …

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 …

This paper reports narrowing and splitting of 7-ps-duration pulses from a mode-locked color-
center laser by a 700-m-long, single-mode silica-glass fiber, at a wavelength (1.55 μm) of …

Fiber-based optical-parametric chirped-pulse amplification is reported at 1μm in a
microstructured fiber in the femtosecond regime. The signal has been highly stretched by an …

We demonstrate nearly distortionless 2.5-km fiber transmission of sub-500-fs pulses, using a
combination of standard single-mode fiber, dispersion-compensating fiber, and a …

We report a factor of12 compression ofthe 5.4-ps, 1-k W pulses from a mode-locked dye
laser. The pulses were frequency broadened and linearly chirped by the combined action of …
