Abstract: | Delivery of high peak-power femtosecond pulses with fibers is constrained by nonlinear distortions accumulated during pulse propagation. We address this problem with a novel, to our knowledge, fiber schematic, where the pulse propagates in a small Aeff (18 microm2) but highly dispersive (record value of approximately -900 ps/nm km) medium, enabled by transmission in the LP02 mode of a few-mode fiber. The novel fiber yields a low dispersion-to-nonlinear-length ratio (due to its large dispersion) despite its small Aeff, hence enabling mitigation of nonlinearities. This enables fiber delivery of distortion-free <150 fs, approximately 1 nJ, and 840 nm pulses--an order-of-magnitude improvement over single-mode fibers of similar Aeff. |
