High-frequency bright and dark soliton sources based on dispersion-profiled fibre circuitry and their applications

摘要: There has been considerable recent interest in the development of all-optical techniques for generation high frequency soliton trains based on nonlinear beat signal to train conversion dispersion profiled fibre circuits (see e.g. Refs.[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]). These schemes offer advantages ultra-high repetition rates, pulse quality, and broad wavelength rate tunability. Moreover, it is a non-resonant technique offering increased environmental stability relative other more conventional short schemes. However, although impressive source demonstrations have made, their practical applications date limited, due primarily issues relating timing jitter [4, 5], Brillouin scattering [3, 4] difficulties applying ranges <40 GHz allow compatibility with state art, data electronic signals [1]. In this paper we report performance diode-driven, ultra-low jitter, 30–40 transmitter potential telecommunication [5, 6]. The results illustrate that synchronisation, modulation electrical detection specific use such sources can be overcome give stable, error free operation.
