我们演示了一种使用硅基平面光波电路(PLC)的可调脉冲重复频率倍增器。PLC是一种六级格型马赫-曾德尔干涉仪,可以进行热调谐,从10 GHz输入产生20 GHz和40 GHz的输出脉冲序列。我们使用非线性光学环镜作为波长转换器进行光强到场的转换,以消除较高速率输出脉冲序列中的脉冲到脉冲的位相波动。此外,我们使用波长多播(同时波长转换)从单个10 GHz输入产生多个脉冲串(在这里所示的例子中为4×20 GHz和4×40 GHz)。
We demonstrate a tunable pulse repetition rate multiplier using a silica-based planar lightwave circuit (PLC). The PLC is a six-stage lattice-form Mach-Zehnder interferometer which can be tuned thermally to generate 20- and 40-GHz output pulse trains from a 10-GHz input. We use a nonlinear optical loop mirror as a wavelength converter to perform intensity-to-field conversion to eliminate pulse-to-pulse phase fluctuations in the higher-rate output pulse trains. Moreover, we use wavelength multicasting (simultaneous wavelength conversion) to generate multiple pulse trains (4 × 20 GHz and 4 × 40 GHz in the example shown here) from a single 10-GHz input.
