Generation and delivery of 1-ps optical pulses with ultrahigh repetition-rates over 25-km single mode fiber by a spectral line-by-line pulse shaper

Abstract

A spectral line-by-line pulse shaper is used to experimentally generate and deliver ~1 ps optical pulses of 31~124 GHz repetition-rates over 25.33 km single-mode fiber without dispersion-compensating fiber. The correlation of such delivery capability to temporal Talbot effect is experimentally demonstrated. Incorporating shaper periodic phase control, the repetition-rates of these~1 ps optical pulses are further multiplied up to 496 GHz and delivered over 25.33 km single-mode fiber.
