Abstract

Summary form only given. We present the use of a pulse shaper with a programmable liquid crystal phase modulator, which can provide any order of phase variation independently to completely remove the residual dispersion of a 2.5-km dispersion-optimized single mode fiber-dispersion compensating fiber link. As a result, we demonstrate transmission of sub-500-fs pulses over 2.5-km of fiber with no observable distortion.
