Abstract
Cross-phase modulation in highly nonlinear fibre and non-adiabatic Raman compression in dispersion-shifted fibre was employed to switch 20 GHz, 6 ps pulses to 3 ps solitons. Non-adiabatic compression has a low threshold and dispersive waves generated from non-adiabaticity can be removed using a nonlinear optical loop mirror.
