Elimination of the chirp of optical pulses through cascaded nonlinearities in periodically poled lithium niobate waveguides

We propose and demonstrate a novel method for the elimination of arbitrary frequency chirp from short optical pulses. The technique is based on the combination of two cascaded second-order nonlinearities in two individual periodically poled lithium niobate waveguides. The proposed scheme operates in...
