Multiple Independent Comb Shaping (MICS): phase-only generation of optical pulse sequences.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A simple technique for the synthesis of optical pulse sequences is described, where the input laser spectrum is viewed as a superposition of independent but interlaced combs assigned to different sub-pulses. The devised concept enables intuitive programming of complex multi-pulse waveforms via one-dimensional phase-only shaping. Using this approach, we perform self-referenced cross-correlation measurements of various optical waveforms and demonstrate the generation and coding of shaped pulse sequences.

High-rate femtosecond pulse generation via line-by-line processing of phase-modulated CW laser frequency comb
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...
متن کاملOptical arbitrary waveform generation
nature photonics | VOL 4 | NOVEMBER 2010 | www.nature.com/naturephotonics Although the electromagnetic spectrum is a continuum, a strong distinction is typically drawn between electronics and optics. This distinction is due, in part, to the very different technologies used for electronics and optics. A further distinction is that electronic devices typically generate and measure electric field ...
متن کاملThe impact of optical comb stability on waveforms generated via spectral line-by-line pulse shaping.
Optical arbitrary waveform generation using the line-by-line pulse shaping technique has been shown to be sensitive to variations in the offset frequency of the input frequency comb due to time-domain waveform interference. Here we present a frequency-domain model that is able to predict waveform changes arising from offset frequency variations. In experiments we controllably shift the frequenc...
متن کاملOptical sinc-shaped Nyquist pulses with very low roll-off generated from a rectangular frequency comb
High-quality optical sinc-shaped Nyquist pulses with a virtual zero roll-off factor are obtained from the generation of a phase-locked, rectangular-spectrum frequency comb. Tunability over more than 4 frequency decades is demonstrated with <1% power distortion. OCIS codes: (060.4510) Optical communications; (060.4080) Modulation; (320.5540) Pulse shaping.
متن کاملOptical Response of Fluorescent Molecules Studied by Synthetic Femtosecond Laser Pulses.
The optical response of the fluorescent molecule IR144 in solution is probed by pairs of collinear pulses with intensity just above the linear dependence using two different pulse shaping methods. The first approach mimics a Michelson interferometer, while the second approach, known as multiple independent comb shaping (MICS), eliminates spectral interference. The comparison of interfering and ...
