Title:
【発明の名称】高次関数導波路干渉計を使用する光パルス発生
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2003532906
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
An optical pulse generator having a high order transfer function that comprises a first and a second nested interferometric modulator, each modulator comprising an optical input, an electrical input, a first arm, a second arm and an optical output. The second interferometric modulator is optically coupled into the second arm of the first interferometric modulator. The optical output of the first interferometric modulator generates pulses at a repetition rate that is proportional to a multiple of a frequency of an electrical signal applied to the electrical input of at least one of the first and second interferometric modulator and at a duty cycle that is inversely proportional to the order of the transfer function of the optical pulse generator. The multiple may be any integer equal to or greater than one.
