Soliton compression (/spl tilde/ 1.2 ps) of gain-switched DFB laser using an erbium-doped fiber amplifier

Optimum conditions were studied systematically for a system consisting of a gain-switched DHB laser, an EDFA, and a soliton fiber. Compressed pulses around 1.2ps with suppressed pedestal and reasonable pulse energy of 40pJ were obtained.

Description
Summary:Optimum conditions were studied systematically for a system consisting of a gain-switched DHB laser, an EDFA, and a soliton fiber. Compressed pulses around 1.2ps with suppressed pedestal and reasonable pulse energy of 40pJ were obtained.
