Abstract
Previous research on femtosecond pulse compression using optical fibers has demonstrated that it is necessary to compensate both second- and third-order dispersion effects independently to obtain the shortest possible pulses.1 This dispersion compensation has been performed using two compensating elements which have opposite signs for third-order dispersion such as a diffraction grating sequence and a prism sequence.
