Pulse compression using fibres with negative dispersion is investigated. The initial pulse width of 28 ps is compressed to 15 ps applying a dispersion of -59 ps/nm. The extinction ratio of the clock pulses is better than 15 dB.endistributed feedback lasersoptical fibre communicationoptical fibre dispersionoptical information processingoptical pulse compressionstreak camerassynchronisationpulse compressionall-optical clock recovery moduleself-pulsating dfb laserstreak cameranegative dispersioninitial pulse widthextinction ratiooptical signal processing15 ps621384journal article
