Abstract
A pulse-rate-tunable, highly extinctive, ultra-highspeed electrooptic pulse pattern generator has been developed. The optical short pulse ge neration is based on sinusoidal electrooptic phase modulation and line ar chirp compensation using a dispersive medium. Filtering the nonline ar chirp components generated by sinusoidal phase modulation drastical ly improves the pulse extinction, and makes nearly background-free pic osecond pulsation over a wide pulse-rate range even when the group del ay dispersion value is fixed.
