title: Subpicosecond-pulse generation through cross-phase-modulation-induced modulational instability in optical fibers.
abstract: We report subpicosecond-pulse generation at 1.319 microm in a single-mode optical fiber by modulational instability induced through cross-phase modulation by 1.06-microm pulses propagating in the normal dispersion regime. Pulse-repetition rates approaching 300 GHz were achieved.
