Grism-based pulse shaper for line-by-line control of more than 600 optical frequency comb lines.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We construct a line-by-line pulse shaper using a grism (grating plus prism) dispersive element, which provides constant angular dispersion over 13.4 THz centered at ~311 THz (965 nm). When combined with a dual-mask liquid crystal modulator, this grism-based shaper is capable of line-by-line amplitude and phase control of over 600 modes of a 21 GHz stabilized optical frequency comb.

Dynamic Line-by-line Pulse Shaping
In pursuit of optical arbitrary waveform generation (OAWG), line-by-line pulse shapers use dynamic masks that can be modulated at the repetition rate of an input pulse train. The pulse-to-pulse control of the output pulse train with the waveform fidelity provided by line-by-line pulse shaping creates the most arbitrary waveform output possible, OAWG. This thesis studies the theoretical dynamic ...
متن کاملHigh-rate femtosecond pulse generation via line-by-line processing of phase-modulated CW laser frequency comb
Introduction: High repetition rate optical pulses in a few picosecond range and below are playing an increasingly important role in high speed optical fibre communication systems. Such high repetition rate short pulses are routinely generated by harmonically modelocked lasers [1], but with the following limitations: (i) complicated feedback control is required; (ii) the modelocked frequency com...
متن کاملOptical arbitrary waveform generation
nature photonics | VOL 4 | NOVEMBER 2010 | www.nature.com/naturephotonics Although the electromagnetic spectrum is a continuum, a strong distinction is typically drawn between electronics and optics. This distinction is due, in part, to the very different technologies used for electronics and optics. A further distinction is that electronic devices typically generate and measure electric field ...
متن کاملIntegrated line-by-line optical pulse shaper for high-fidelity and rapidly reconfigurable RF-filtering.
We present a 32 channel indium phosphide integrated pulse shaper with 25 GHz channel spacing, where each channel is equipped with a semiconductor optical amplifier allowing for programmable line-by-line gain control with submicrosecond reconfigurability. We critically test the integrated pulse shaper by using it in comb-based RF-photonic filtering experiments where the precise gain control is l...
متن کاملPhotonically enabled agile rf waveform generation by optical comb shifting.
We present a photonically enabled rf arbitrary waveform generator that can rapidly switch between two output waveforms. This method is based on line-by-line shaping of an optical comb and then converting the optical pulses to rf waveforms with a fast photodetector. It uses a single diode laser as the optical source and selects different patterns preprogrammed into an optical pulse shaper by shi...
