Fully dispersion-compensated approximately 500 fs pulse transmission over 50 km single-mode fiber.
We demonstrate essentially distortionless 50 km fiber transmission for approximately 500 fs pulses, using dispersion-compensating fiber and a programmable pulse shaper as a spectral phase equalizer. This distance is approximately five times longer than previously achieved at similar pulse widths.
