Abstract
We achieved the first 10-GHz subpicosecond pulses in the 1000-nm band by employing the higher order soliton
effect in a 190-m photonic crystal fiber (PCF). We obtained 0.5-ps pulses at 1063 nm by compressing 11-ps pulses
from a harmonically mode-locked Yb fiber laser with a 10-GHz repetition rate, which was stabilized with
phase-locked-loop technology. This light source is attractive in terms of realizing a
hundreds-of-gigabits-per-second optical-time-division-multiplexing transmission over a low-loss PCF in the 1000-nm
band.
