In recent years, integrated signal processing system has been attracting increasing attention for its significant potential in future data transmission and information interaction. There is a key technical requirement for multi-pulse signal propagation that keeps the waveform shape, which contributes to the practical value of the system. Here, we investigate the effects of third-order dispersion on pulses in mid-infrared multi-pulse signal propagation via numerical simulation based on Runge–Kutta algorithm. The phenomenon of waveform distortion and reduction of conversion efficiency induced by third-order dispersion is explored and discussed in detail. To reduce the impact of nonlinear factors, we propose an on-chip signal processing system based on a lithium niobate waveguide, which achieves high-efficiency signal transmission. It opens a new way to establish a novel transmission system to process multi-pulse signal.
