The rise in output power from rare-earth-doped fiber sources over the past decade, via the
use of cladding-pumped fiber architectures, has been dramatic, leading to a range of fiber …

A reconfigurable photonic signal processing system for arbitrary-order temporal
differentiation of broadband microwave waveforms, with bandwidths up to a few tens of …

This paper reports on the generation of 1.6-ps full-width at half-maximum flat-top pulses by
the optical Fourier transform technique, and the utilization of these pulses in a 320-Gb/s …

tract: We demonstrate high quality pulse compression at high repetition rates by use of
spectral broadening of short parabolic-like pulses in a normally-dispersive highly nonlinear …

A novel configuration of all-fiber photonic temporal differentiator optimized for tens-of-
gigahertz processing bandwidth is suggested and experimentally demonstrated. This device …

The filtering scheme proposed here is based on transmission through a dual long-period-
fiber-grating (LPFG) configuration and enables implementation of arbitrary spectral transfer …

Reshaping of an ultrashort Gaussian-like pulse into a flat-top pulse is demonstrated using
an integrated Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI). The 7.8-ps Gaussian-like pulses are …

We study theoretically the spectral intensity evolutions of the femtosecond Gaussian and
parabolic pulses with different initial pulse energies and compare the nonlinear …

We report on an optical fiber Mach–Zehnder interferometer made by offset splicing a dual-
mode fiber with two single-mode fibers. The extinction ratio can be tuned from less than 1 …

We review recent work on all‐fiber (long‐period fiber grating) devices for optical pulse
shaping, particularly flat‐top pulse generation, down to the subpicosecond range and their …
