Abstract
Pulse-train multiplication based on the temporal Talbot effect in a linearl y chirped fiber Bragg grating has been experimentally demonstrated. A 40-GH z repetition-rate, nearly transform-limited 10-ps duration optical pulse tr ain at 1.533 mu m has been obtained from a 2.5-GHz mode-locked Er-Yb:glass laser by use of a 100-cm-long linearly chirped apodized fiber grating.
