Abstract :
A compact system of wavelength tunable femtosecond soliton pulse generation is demonstrated using compact fiber laser and optical fibers. The wavelength can be changed linearly and continuously from 1.56 to 1.86 /spl mu/m by changing the power of pump pulse. The experimental results are almost in agreement with the results of numerical simulations. Since this system is very compact and reliable, it is useful as a practical ultrashort pulse light source.
