Abstract
Two types of compressors are commonly used for optical pulse compression:1 Compression based on linear effects, when specifically prepared chirped pulses passing through a dispersive delay line becomes narrower as they propagate in grating pairs. The second one is the nonlinear soliton-based compressor; here, higher-order solitons become narrower as they propagate in an optical fiber. We discuss a new principle of compression based on wave collapse phenomenon.2
