Abstract
A new method for the generation of short optical pulses is demonstrate d experimentally. The pulses are created from a phase-modulated cw sig nal that is propagated through an optical fiber under the influence of stimulated Brillouin scattering. It is possible to achieve repetition rates that are much larger than the Brillouin linewidth.
