Description
Summary:A novel two-stage spectral compression structure which employs a logarithmic dispersion increasing fiber (DIF) interconnected with a highly nonlinear linear fiber-nonlinear optical loop mirror (HNLF-NOLM) is proposed and demonstrated by numerical simulation. The numerical simulation is implemented by solving the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation using split-step Fourier method, where the soliton number is in the range of 0.5≤ N ≤1.4. The results show that the spectra are well-compressed and low-pedestal, and the maximum spectral compression ratio (SCR) can reach 10.93 when N =1.4.
