Abstract
A method for pedestal reduction and chirp elimination of high-order compressed solitons was described. The method employed a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and a tunable filter. The pulsewidth after filtering was found to be mainly dependent on the filter bandwidth. Hence the quality of the pulse could be improved without compromising on pulse broadening. Numerical analysis also showed that besides the pulse shaping improvement, the chirp value in the pulse center could also be reduced.
