Nonlinear Pulse Shaping in Fibres for Pulse Generation and Optical Processing

Figure 1

(a) Experimental setup for high repetition rate pulse train generation. (b, c) Results obtained for the optimum output shape and for the best compression, respectively. The temporal intensity profiles at different stages as predicted by numerical simulations (subplots 1) are compared to the experimental results (subplots 2) obtained by the FROG technique (b2—results adapted from [25]) or by an optical sampling oscilloscope (c2—results adapted from [31]).
