Abstract

Wavelength and repetition-rate tunable optical pulse-trains for ultrafast optical time- and wavelength division multiplexing are generated from a semiconductor fiber ring laser by optical injection mode-locking. The pulse trains show the pulse with of ${\sim}10$ ps and the wavelength tuning of wider than 30 nm at various repetition-rates of 10 GHz, 20 GHz, 30 GHz and 40 GHz, respectively.

광 시분할 및 파장분할 다중화에 의한 초고속 광통신 시스템에 적합한 파장 및 반복율 가변 능력을 갖는 초단 펄스열을 고리형 반도체 광섬유 레이저의 광주입 모드잠김에 의해 발생시켰다. 발생된 광 펄스열은 10 GHz, 20 GHz, 30 GHz, 및 40 GHz의 다양한 반복율에서 ${\sim}10$ 피코초 정도의 펄스폭과 30 nm가 넘는 파장 가변능력을 보였다.
