摘要: We demonstrate 40-GHz soliton pulse train generation using nonlinear compression of the output a Mach-Zehnder modulator. This source generates transform-limited pulses at twice RF drive frequency, requires less than V/sub /spl pi// level, is tunable in wavelength (over entire EDFA bandwidth), and repetition rate. >
