Simultaneous repetition-rate multiplication and envelope control based on periodic phase- only and phase-mostly line-by-line pulse shaping

چکیده
We experimentally demonstrate simultaneous pulse repetition-rate multiplication and periodic pulse-to-pulse peak-intensity control based on optimized periodic spectral line-by-line pulse shaping. Accordingly, the method allows us to generate multiplied pulse trains in which the amplitude of each single pulse in a period can be arbitrarily tailored. The technique is illustrated with the generation of 4 9 GHz arbitrary periodic pulse trains, including binary code patterns, from a 9 GHz uniform input pulse train. Special attention is paid to pulse train generation based on all-pass line-by-line filters. © 2007 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 320.5540, 320.7160, 070.6020.

Tunable pulse repetition-rate multiplication using phase-only line-by-line pulse shaping.
We demonstrate a method for all-optical, tunable pulse repetition-rate multiplication of a mode-locked laser based on spectral line-by-line control. In particular, two-to-five-times repetition-rate multiplication of a 9 GHz source is achieved with very high fidelity.

Introduction: High repetition rate optical pulses in a few picosecond range and below are playing an increasingly important role in high speed optical fibre communication systems. Such high repetition rate short pulses are routinely generated by harmonically modelocked lasers [1], but with the following limitations: (i) complicated feedback control is required; (ii) the modelocked frequency com...

Vectorial optical arbitrary waveform generation is experimentally demonstrated by applying polarization line-by-line pulse shaping on a phase-modulated continuous laser frequency comb. Polarization shaped optical waveforms extending a 50-ps time window are successfully synthesized. Temporal Talbot effect is extended into the vectorial regime, where the distinct periodic temporal phases of the t...
