Abstract
An optical fiber delivery system for delivering ultrashort optical pulses that can efficiently transmit high peak power, ultrashort optical pulses from an optical pulse source to a desired position in an optical apparatus is provided. An optical system including such an optical fiber delivery system is also provided. The optical fiber delivery system includes light waveguide meansfor receiving high-peak power, ultrashort optical pulses and transmitting the optical pulses, negative group-velocity dispersion generation meansfor providing negative group-velocity dispersion to the optical pulses transmitted through the light waveguide means, and an optical fiberthat transmits the optical pulses transmitted through the negative group-velocity dispersion generation meansalong a desired distance. The incident ultrashort optical pulses that have been injected into the light waveguide meansare converted into down-chirped pulses.
