Abstract
Described is an optical fiber system for delivering ultrashort pulses with minimal distortions due to nonlinearity. The system is based on delivering the optical pulses in a higher order mode (HOM) of a few-moded fiber. The fiber is designed so that the dispersion for the HOM is very large. This results in a dispersion length Lfor the delivery fiber that is exceptionally small, preferably less than the non-linear length L. Under these conditions the system may be designed so the optical pulses experience minimum non-linear impairment, and short pulse/high peak power levels are reproduced at the output of the delivery fiber.
