摘要：

A highly sensitive and compact cross-correlator in which an Si avalanche photodiode (APD) is used as a two-photon absorber is described, which was developed for the measurement of picosecond pulse transmission characteristics at 1550nm. A 10GHz. 1.7ps pulse under test is generated from an external-cavity modelocked semiconductor laser. and is transmitted through an 80 km long dispersion-shifted fibre. A 200fs sampling pulse is obtained from the pulse under test by pulse compression. An Si APD is used as a two-photon absorber for the cross-correlation measurement of the transmitted pulse waveform. The asymmetric pulse-waveform distortion stemming from the dispersion slope is clearly detected by the system.
