    Pulse Compression in Single-Mode Fibers—Picoseconds to Femtoseconds

    The compression of frequency swept (in time) or “chirped” optical pulses was independently proposed by Gires and Tournois (1964) and Giordmaine et al. (1968). Optical pulse compression is the optical analog of...

    The Role of Ultrashort Optical Pulses in High-Speed Electronics

    As we look to the future of high-speed electronic and optoelectronic devices, we are contemplating devices that work in the picosecond time domain. Optical techniques have the potential of an ever increasing i...
