Ea. Swanson et al., 100-GHZ SOLITON PULSE-TRAIN GENERATION USING SOLITON COMPRESSION OF 2PHASE SIDE BANDS FROM A SINGLE DFB LASER, IEEE photonics technology letters, 6(10), 1994, pp. 1194-1196
A 100-GHz soliton pulse train, with the potential of very low timing j
itter, is generated using soliton compression of the beat signal betwe
en two optical carriers. The optical carriers are obtained by opticall
y filtering out the third-order sidebands generated from a single DFB
laser and a LiNbO3 electro-optic phase modulator driven at 16.9 GHz.
