Ultra-short pulse compression at 1065 nm in nonlinear photonic crystal fiber

A pulse compressor has been designed using a 13 mm highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber to compress pulses centered at 1065 nm from 28 fs to 1.8 fs with a compression factor of 16.2. This compression is achieved by using a high level of energy and generating different orders of solitons without resorting to large values of fiber's dispersion.
