We experimentally demonstrate complete compensation of pulse\ud broadening in an amplifier-based slow light system. The configuration of\ud the delay line basically consists of two stages: a conventional Brillouin slow\ud light system and a nonlinear regeneration element. Signal pulses\ud experienced both time delay and temporal broadening through the Brillouin\ud delay line and then the delayed pulses were delivered into a nonlinear\ud optical loop mirror. Due to the nonlinear response of the transmission of the\ud fiber loop, the inevitably broadened pulses were moderately compressed in\ud the output of the loop, without loss in the capacity to delay the pulses. The\ud overall result is that, for the maximum delay, the width of the pulse could be\ud kept below the input width while the time delays introduced by the slow\ud light element were preserved. Using this delay line, a signal pulse with\ud duration of 27 ns at full width at half maximum was delayed up to 1.3-bits\ud without suffering from signal distortion
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
