100-GHz Soliton Pulse Train Generation using Soliton Compression of Two PhaseSide Bands from a Single DFB Laser

摘要

A 100-GHz soliton pulse train, with the potential of very low timing jitter, isgenerated using soliton compression of the beat signal between two optical carriers. The optical carriers are obtained by optically filtering out the third order sidebands generated from a single DFB laser and a LiNbO3 electrooptic phase modulator driven at 16.9 GHz.
