Observation of soliton pulse compression in photonic crystal waveguides

Optics 2015-05-18 v1

Abstract

We demonstrate soliton-effect pulse compression in mm-long photonic crystal waveguides resulting from strong anomalous dispersion and self-phase modulation. Compression from 3ps to 580fs, at low pulse energies(~10pJ), is measured via autocorrelation.
