Abstract :
Summary form only given. We propose a novel pulse compressor based on an apodized fiber Bragg grating (FBG) in transmission, where the dispersion can be orders of magnitude greater than standard fiber dispersion. Using coupled-mode theory we derive analytic expressions for the effective dispersion of the fibre Bragg grating to yield the ideal optical pulse compressor.
