Long-period fiber-grating-based filter for generation of picosecond and subpicosecond transform-limited flat-top pulses
Long-period fiber-grating-based filter for generation of picosecond and subpicosecond transform-limited flat-top pulses
We suggest and demonstrate an all-fiber pulse shaper for synthesizing transform-limited flat-top waveforms. The proposed scheme can be easily scaled down to the (sub-)picosecond regime while offering low polarization dependence and extremely low insertion loss. It is based on a cascade of two long-period fiber gratings. As a proof-of-concept experiment, we report the generation of transform-limited flat-top pulses with full-width at half-maximum duration of 2 ps, which is over two times faster than the shortest transform-limited flat-top pulse ever generated with an all-fiber filter.

Abstract
We suggest and demonstrate an all-fiber pulse shaper for synthesizing transform-limited flat-top waveforms. The proposed scheme can be easily scaled down to the (sub-)picosecond regime while offering low polarization dependence and extremely low insertion loss. It is based on a cascade of two long-period fiber gratings. As a proof-of-concept experiment, we report the generation of transform-limited flat-top pulses with full-width at half-maximum duration of 2 ps, which is over two times faster than the shortest transform-limited flat-top pulse ever generated with an all-fiber filter.
