A theoretical investigation on the parabolic pulse nonlinear propagation and spectral compression in all-normal dispersion photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) is presented. It is found that use of larger chirp can obtain higher quality transform-limited spectrally compressed parabolic pulses due to almost purely the effects of self-phase modulation (SPM) — because of its all-normal dispersion with smaller group velocity dispersion (GVD). Also, use of long initial negatively chirped parabolic pulses can lead to the most efficient transform-limited spectral compression under the optimal compression condition.

Multimode’s Lamb waves in aluminum plates with various defects were excited by a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. The Lamb waves past through the defects were received a laser interferometer. The received signals of the Lamb waves are processed by the wavelet transformation. The wavelet transformation is generally shown on the time-frequency domain. By dividing a propagation distance by the time, the group velocities are identified. In this way, group velocity dispersion maps of multimode’s Lamb waves are constructed with the received temporal signals. By changing the shape of the mother wavelet, Gabor function, we can identify the dispersion curves of the higher mode Lamb waves. The group velocity dispersion maps of a intact specimen agree well on theoretical dispersion curves of S0, A0, S1, A1, S2, A2, and A3 modes. The difference between the dispersion maps of the intact specimen and that with defects clearly visualizes the existence of defects. This non-contact method is effective for inspecting various defects in thin plate structures.
