40 GHz Pulse Train Generation by Spectral Filtering for Repetition Rate Quadruplication

  • Published : 2008.06.18

Abstract

We demonstrate a simple method to multiply the repetition rate of an optical pulse train by a fiber Fabry-Parot interferometer (FFPI) spectral filtering. A stable 40 GHz pulse train at 1550 nm is successfully generated by removing unwanted spectral components of a 10 GHz actively mode-locked laser source by passing a high finesse FFPI.
