Abstract

In many applications it is required to compress a soliton with as low a fraction of non-soliton component as possible. Proposed several years ago, the Nonlinear Amplifying Loop Mirror (NALM) [1] possesses both amplification and pulse shaping functions [2-4] and can be very attractive for soliton compression. In this paper we study soliton compression in a NALM and demonstrate the principle of operation of an all-fibre tunable source of femtosecond pulses.
