subject

description

International audience; In this paper, we report recent progress on the design of all-fibered ultra-high repetition-rate pulse sources for telecommunication applications around 1550 nm. Based on the nonlinear compression of an initial beat-signal in optical fibers through a multiple four-wave mixing process, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate that this simple technique allows an efficient and accurate design of versatile pulse sources having repetition rates and pulse durations ranging from 20 GHz up to 2 THz and from 10 ps up to 110 fs, respectively.
