Abstract
Generation of short optical pulses is essential for high-bit-rate optical systems, such as long-distance soliton fiber transmission systems at 1.5 μm, and also in the 1.3-μm optical window.1 A method often used to generate optical pulses is passive mode locking.2-4 The shortest optical pulse reported to date had a width of 640 fs,5 supposedly limited by the absorber length.
