In this work, we report on an all-optical, real-time, nonlinear temporal compression technique based on a counter-propagating degenerate four-wave mixing interaction in birefringent optical fibres. As a proof-of-concept, we demonstrate the extreme temporal focusing and interleaving of a 10-Mbit/s data packet into a 10-Gbit/s data sequence, with record temporal compression factors ranging from 3 to 4 orders of magnitude and including non-trivial on-demand time-reversal capabilities. Our approach is scalable to different photonic platforms and offers great promise for ultrafast arbitrary optical waveform generation and related applications, while enabling the compression of THz-bandwidth optical signals from low-cost, low-bandwidth optical waveform generators.
