Direct space-to-time pulse shaper with reflective arrayed waveguide gratings and phase masks.

چکیده
We demonstrate for what we believe to be the first time the generation of sequences of ultrafast optical pulses by phase modulation in a direct space-to-time pulse shaper. The pulse shaper is based on the combination of a reflective arrayed waveguide grating multiplexer and an external reflector. The spatial modulation of the phase was obtained by fabricating corrugated patterns on the external reflector. We demonstrate that pulse sequences with different repetition rates can be obtained by changing the period in the patterned mask.

High Repetition Rate Femtosecond WDM Pulse Generation using Direct Space-to-Time Pulse Shapers and Arrayed Waveguide Gratings
For the application of high repetition rate WDM pulse train generation from a femtosecond modelocked fiber laser, the direct space-to-time pulse shaper and a properly designed arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) are equivalent. The analogy between the bulk optics and integrated configuration is explored for this application. The critical design parameters of the AWG are the free spectral range and ...
متن کاملHigh-speed direct space-to-time pulse shaping with 1 ns reconfiguration.
In this Letter we demonstrate high-speed direct space-to-time pulse shaping with waveform reconfigurations down to the order of 1 ns. Our pulse shaper implementation incorporates a modified arrayed-waveguide grating structure and an array of optoelectronic reflection modulators.
متن کاملDirect space-to-time pulse shaper / arrayed waveguide grating analogy for high repetition rate WDM pulse train generation
High repetition rate WDM pulse burst generation from a single lower rate femtosecond source laser is demonstrated with both a bulk optics direct space-to-time pulse shaper, and an integrated arrayed waveguide grating (AWG). The critical AWG design parameters, free spectral range and path length difference between adjacent guides, are discussed. 2000 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (130....
متن کاملReflective arrayed waveguide gratings based on Sagnac loop reflectors with custom spectral response.
In this paper, a model for the analysis and design of a reflective Arrayed Waveguide Grating is presented. The device consists of one half of a regular AWG where each arm waveguide in the array is terminated with a phase shifter and a Sagnac loop reflector. By individually adjusting the phase shifter and Sagnac reflectivity in each arm, additional functionality to that previously reported in th...
متن کاملDesign of Arrayed Waveguide Grating based Optical Switch for High Speed Optical Networks
This paper demonstrates the design of an Arrayed Waveguide Gratings (AWG) based optical switch. In the design both physical and network layer analysis is performed. The physical layer power and noise analysis is done to obtain Bit Error Rate (BER). This has been found that at the higher bit rates, BER is not affected with number of buffer modules. Network layer analysis is done to obtain perfor...
