  • Abstract
    Pulses from a tunable actively mode-locked InGaAsP laser compressed using linear dispersion in single-mode optical fiber are discussed. High-repetition-rate pulses as short as 4.1 ps have been achieved. Compression is optimized by wavelength tuning of the mode-locked laser. Time-resolved spectral measurements show the compensation of pulse chirp by fiber dispersion.<>
