Abstract

We demonstrate, both numerically and experimentally, adiabatic soliton spectral compression in a dispersion- increasing fiber (DIF). We show that a positively chirped pulse provides better spectral compression in a DIF with a large anomalous dispersion ramp. An experimental spectral compression ratio of 15.5 is obtained using $350\mathrm{fs}$ positively chirped input pulse centered at $1.5\mathrm{\mu m}$. A $30\mathrm{nm}$ wavelength tuning ability is experimentally achieved.
