Abstract
We generated parabolic pulses by using an optical pulse synthesizer and investigated their fiber transmission characteristics in detail. The generated pulses had a rms difference of less than 0.03 between the target pulse shapes and their shapes. We transmitted them through standard single-mode fibers and dispersion-shifted fibers to evaluate the influences of their dispersions and nonlinearities on the pulse shapes. We compared the experimental results with simulated results calculated by the split-step Fourier method. The two results were well matched with each other. In the high power regime, the pulses experienced the higher order nonlinearities and were strongly distorted.
