Abstract :
Summary form only given. In summary, we have demonstrated nearly dispersion-free, linear transmission of 62-fs pulses over >40 m of fiber. These results are made possible by a composite single mode fiber (SMF) dispersion compensated (DCF) link with third order dispersion reduced by 8 times compared to dispersion-shifted fiber. To our knowledge this is the first report of several hundred-fold broadening and compression of sub-100-fsec pulses in an all-fiber system. Our results should impact ultrashort pulse fiber transmission as well as chirped-pulse fiber amplification systems.
