The almost equal height dual peak spontaneous Brillouin scattering spectrum of a piece of microstructure fiber with a small core was investigated at various temperatures using the heterodyne method. The central frequencies of the two peaks increase linearly with increasing temperature with temperatu...

Many methods have been suggested to reduce dispersion in optical fiber communication. Among these methods, chirped fiber grating (CFG) is a promising scheme. This paper describes a linearly chirped fiber grating with 95% reflectivity and 0. 3 nm bandwidth written using a double exposure method with ...

A linearly chi rped fiber grating was written by tilting the fiber with a uniform phase mask. A bandwidth of 0. 25 nm was produced. Dispersion compensation over 50 km of standard single mode fiber (SMF) was demonstrated using this chirped fiber grating. A figure of merit of 0.88 was achieved with ne...

An ultrashort 10-GHz pulse generation scheme was successfully demonstrated using a bulk material InGaAsP electroabsorption modulator to generate the seed pulse. A self-phase modulation-based reshaper was used after the adiabatic soliton compression in a comb-like dispersion profiled fiber. Experimen...
