  • Abstract
    In contrast to conventional polarisation maintaining fibres, a simple Ge-doped singlemode fibre is used to generate tunable femtosecond soliton pulses. Soliton self-wavelength-shift up to 200 nm is achieved in a 17 m-long fibre. The generated ´monocoloured´ soliton pulses have quasi-ideal sech2 spectral shapes.
