Adiabatic soliton compression of gain-switched DFB-LD pulse by distributed fiber Raman amplification

Using a dispersion-shifted single-mode fiber pumped by laser diodes as a distributed fiber Raman amplifier, the authors adiabatically compressed transform-limited (TL) pulses generated by a gain-switched distributed-feedback laser diode followed by linear compression and a spectral window. The initial TL pulses were successfully compressed asymptotically to almost pure solitons as short as 3.6 ps at the 2.4 dB total gain of a distributed fiber Raman amplifier, even without using solitons as the initial pulses. The experimental results are well supported by numerical calculations made with the beam propagation method.<<ETX>>
