Pulse width compression of supercontinuum based on free space OTDM system

In this paper, a pulse width compression scheme for optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) system based on supercontinuum (SC) is proposed. After injecting a high power narrow line-width pulse width laser into high nonlinear fiber (HNLF), the pulse width has been obviously narrowed. This demonstration suggests that the pulse width compression effect of SC could be used in free-space OTDM system.
