Abstract
Characteristics of ultrashort pulse propagation in optical fibers at the wavelength region of 1.55 μm are experimentally analyzed using the cross-correlation frequency resolved optical gating (X-FROG) technique. In the anomalous dispersive fibers, widely wavelength tunable femtosecond soliton pulse is generated. The spectrogram of almost transform limited soliton pulse around 2 μm is observed. In the dispersion shifted fibers, the wavelength tunable soliton pulse and anti-stokes pulse are generated. As the results of X-FROG measurement, it is clarified that the anti-stokes pulse is overlapped with the soliton pulse and trapped by the soliton pulse. In the highly nonlinear optical fibers, 1.2-2.1 μm ultra-widely broadened super continuum and 1.46-1.68 μm linearly chirped one are generated. The spectrograms of generated super continuum are observed. The phenomenon of pulse trapping is also observed in generated super continuum.
