Abstract
Separation and compression of pulses from a gain-switched multimode semiconductor laser are achieved by using a dispersion-shifted fiber. The evolution of the pulse waveform is analyzed by an improved expression of diode laser chirp, suitable for large signal modulation. A brief discussion is made on the possible application of this technique to a novel hybrid time/wavelength division multiplexing scheme for fiber-optic signal transmission.Keywords
