High repetition rates and high quality optical pulse train generator based on solitons over finite background

subject

description

This work proposes to fully exploit the nonlinear evolution undergone by a sinusoidal modulation with a finite background propagating along an optical fiber. For the original method to overcome this major drawback is to exploit the π phase shift that exists between the pulsed part and the background. By using a simple delay-line interferometer, it is possible to simultaneously double the repetition rate of the pulse train and to annihilate the deleterious background by imprinting a controlled π phase shift.
