Design of monolithic integrated Bragg gratings in InGaAsP/InP materials as chirped pulse compressors

A uniform Bragg grating as dispersive device of InGaAsP/InP integrated chirped pulse compressors are studied. Results of numerical analysis for the propagation of chirped ultrafast pulses are presented. The compression factor and the length of the device have been designed looking for an optimum behaviour for a monolithic implementation in a 40 GHz mode-locked diode laser.
