1) A mode-locked laser, operating at 547.5 nm, generates an average power of 1 watt, with a pulse repetition rate of 100 MHz. The gaussian shaped pulse has a duration is 0.44 picoseconds. The light is focused into 1 meter of fiber. Neglecting dispersion, and given that the fiber nonlinearity g =0.88 W-1km-1, calculate:
a) Energy per pulse of the laser
b) The peak power of a single pulse.
c) The amount of spectral broadening of the pulse after propagating in the fiber.
d) The instantaneous frequency impressed across the pulse in units of nm/psec.
e) The group delay needed for optimal compression.
Given a pulse compressor with a groove spacing of 1 micron, and diffraction angle of 60 degrees, calculate:
f) The group delay of the compressor in units of ps/nm/m.
g) The distance between gratings for optimal compression using a double pass geometry (e.g. B =b/2).
h) The compressed pulse duration.
