Wedemonstrated spectral compression of ultrashort soliton pulses in a widewavelength region based on an adiabatic soliton spectral compression techniqueusing a comb-profile fiber. The comb-profile fiber was carefully designedusing numerical analysis and fabricated using a conventional single-mode fiberand a dispersion-shifted fiber. The spectral width of a 200fs soliton pulse was compressed from 12 to 15 nmto 0.54–0.71 nm in the wavelength region 1620–1850 nm, givinga spectral compression factor of up to 19.8–25.9. Owing tothe soliton effect, the side lobe level was suppressed to–19.2 to –9.7 dB. ©2010 Optical Society of America
