Abstract
A 30-GHz pulse-train is generated using the rational harmonic mode-locking technique, experimentally, using a Mach–Zehnder Lithium Niobate modulator. The width of the pulses is then reduced from 5.8-ps to 1.9-ps by incorporating nonlinear polarization rotation. This phenomenon arises due to the very high nonlinear behavior of the photonic crystal fiber (PCF) added to the ring laser cavity. Numerically solving the Generalized Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation provided insights into the pulse evolution behavior. The relative polarization angle and length of the PCF were varied to study their effects on the pulse-width.
期刊介绍:
Launched in 1990, the International Journal of High Speed Electronics and Systems (IJHSES) has served graduate students and those in R&D, managerial and marketing positions by giving state-of-the-art data, and the latest research trends. Its main charter is to promote engineering education by advancing interdisciplinary science between electronics and systems and to explore high speed technology in photonics and electronics. IJHSES, a quarterly journal, continues to feature a broad coverage of topics relating to high speed or high performance devices, circuits and systems.
