We report on 33 x compression of 100-ps mode-locked Kr/sup +/ laser pulses at 647.1 nm by using a fiber-grating-pair compressor. Pulses with very low wings have been achieved by making use of the nonlinear birefringence effect leading to an intensity-dependent state of polarization. The discrimination of the wings took place in the grating compressor which acted as a polarizer.
