摘要: A new technique for achieving distortion-free pulse propagation through single-mode optical fibers is demonstrated. Mode-locked dye-laser pulses with 3.3-psec widths and a wavelength of 5878 were propagated 325-m fiber emerged 13-psec widths. These output recompressed to their original by passage 50-cm near-resonant atomic sodium-vapor delay line.
