Abstract :
We utilize the highly dispersive nature of the LP02 mode (dispersion∼ -900 ps/nm-km) to enable SPM-distortion free fs-pulse propagation in a small Aeff fiber (18 μm2). This facilitates delivery of sub-150-fs, 1-nJ, 840-nm pulses - an order of magnitude improvement over SMF of similar Aeff.
