Abstract
In order to generate monocycle optical pulses, we proposed a technique of utilizing not only selfphase modulation (SPM) but also induced-phase modulation (IPM) in an optical fiber. With respect to compression of optical pulses generated in a fiber, recently we have compensated1–3 for chirp of induced phase-modulated pulses4 However, fused-silica fibers are not suitable to generate optical pulses which have higher energy (> 100 nj) because of optical breakdown. To overcome the problem, we use a gas-filled hollow fiber as a nonlinear device.5
