Abstract :
Complete intensity and chirp characterisation of 15 ps pulses at a wavelength of 1557 nm propagating over a distance of 308 km in a dispersion-shifted fibre recirculation loop is reported. A novel frequency-resolved optical gating configuration based on wavelength conversion allows pulse characterisation at the 10 mW peak power level.
