TL;DR
This paper reports the experimental observation of soliton pulse compression in photonic crystal waveguides, achieving significant pulse shortening at low energies due to anomalous dispersion and self-phase modulation.
Contribution
It demonstrates for the first time soliton-effect pulse compression in photonic crystal waveguides with low pulse energies.
Findings
Pulse compression from 3ps to 580fs observed
Achieved at low pulse energies (~10pJ)
Utilized strong anomalous dispersion and self-phase modulation
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.
