Femtosecond pulse generation by cubic phase compensation in semiconductor traveling wave amplifiers

Abstract

In the past, optical pulse compression techniques have relied on compensating quadratic phase distortion owing to self-phase modulation induced on high-power optical pulses propagating through optical fibers. In this summary, experimental results are shown for utilizing a new and innovative technique that allows for the compensation of cubic phase distortion on optical pulses generated from a semiconductor laser.1 The cubic phase distortion arises directly from the integrating nonlinearity associated with gain depletion and the resulting time-varying refractive index owing to the plasma effect.2
