Abstract :
We have detected a fundamental pulse-compression limit for high-nonlinear dispersion-flattened fibers in the normal dispersion regime near the zero-dispersion wavelength. The desired generation of a broadband continuum by self-phase modulation is perturbed by already small third-order dispersion, which results in pulse splitting above a critical pulse power
