Abstract

A $40\text{-}\mathrm{GHz}$, $100\text{-}\mathrm{fs}$ pulse train was successfully generated by soliton compression of a mode-locked laser diode (MLLD) pulse with a dispersion-decreasing fiber. The MLLD had a longitudinal mode linewidth as broad as $60\mathrm{MHz}$, which made it possible to suppress stimulated Brillouin scattering and achieve stable, ultrahigh-speed pulse compression without applying external frequency modulation.
