Abstract
The authors report the generation of 185 fs pulses from a 1.55 µm distributed feedback semiconductor laser, the shortest pedestal-free pulses ever generated from semiconductor lasers. This has been realised by simultaneously performing soliton-effect compression and intensity discrimination for pedestal removal in a single fibre.Keywords
