Abstract

A new nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) constructed from a dispersion decreasing fiber (DDF) and a general fiber is proposed. Numerical simulation shows that a ultra-short pulse with pedestal suppression and small chirp generated by the new optical loop mirror can steadily evolutes over a very long fiber. When the pulse takes the best quality factor, the bigger compression factor is gained and the shorter optical fiber is used comparing to the use of the nonlinear optical loop mirror constructed from dispersion decreasing fiber (DDF-NOLM).
