Abstract: The theory of short optical pulse compression with quadratic phase modulation in dispersive media is elaborated. Results of numerical simulation of the equation for a light wave field are presented. The conditions whereby the pulse is compressed up to one optical period are discussed. The optimum phase modulation index is determined.

Keywords: few-cycle pulse, field oscillations, phase modulation, dispersive medium, compression.
