Abstract :
Optical pulse compression at 1.5 μm has been conducted. 20 ps (FWHM) optical pulses from a Tl:KCl-colour-centre laser were compressed into pedestal-free 1.2 ps pulses using a large-positive-dispersion fibre and a grating pair. In addition, 280 fs pulses were obtained from the resultant 1.2 ps through the soliton compression effect in a negative-dispersion fibre
