Abstract
Greatly narrowed pulses have been obtained in single-mode fibers by soliton effects, which involve a combination of self-phase modulation with compression by way of negative group-velocity dispersion1,2 However. such narrowed pulses are usually accompanied by a broad pedestal that contains much energy. One must eliminate the pedestal to make the narrow pulses truly useful. One way to get the compressed pulses without the pedestal is use of a combination of soliton effects with Raman conversion. The possibility of nonlinear conversion of the pump pulses into a single soliton by stimulated Raman scattering with the help of a rigorously amplitude-specified mono-chromatic probe wave was theoretically analyed.3
