G. Grosso et A. Hook, HIGH BIT-RATE CHARACTERISTICS OF SHORT PUMP PULSES GENERATED BY STIMULATED BRILLOUIN-SCATTERING IN OPTICAL FIBERS, Electronics Letters, 29(3), 1993, pp. 281-283
A new method for generating optical pulses is demonstrated experimenta
lly. The pulses are created from a phase modulaed CW signal which is p
ropagated through an optical fibre under the influence of stimulated B
rillouin scattering. Repetition rates much larger than the Brillouin l
inewidth have been achieved.
