An embodiment includes an optical source a dispersive element and a passive , optical compression device. A transform-limited optical pulse is generated by the optical source, The, optical pulse is then provided to the passive optical compression device. The passive optical, compression device, typically using a passive optical notch filter has a , significant amplitude, response to filter or spectrally shape the optical pulse as the pulse passes through the device. As the optical pulse's frequency bandwidth increases due to the filtering the , optical pulse's, temporal pulse width is reduced or compressed down to a desired narrow pulse width without the, use of control signals or …
