Abstract
A new type of soliton-effect compression is proposed and demonstrated. Requiring only a quadratic crystal and high-energy 100-fs source, near-single-cycle durations are predicted, despite significant group-velocity-mismatch. Initial experiments generate 4.5-cycle pulses and bandwidths >500 nm.
