Optical Processing Based on Spectral Line-by-Line Pulse Shaping on a Phase-Modulated CW Laser

摘要

We demonstrate optical processing based on spectral line-by-line pulse shaping of a frequency comb generated by phase modulating a CW laser and show various applications including CW-to-pulse conversion, width/wavelength tunable return-to-zero pulse generation, pulse-to-CW conversion, wavelength conversion, and microwave photonics. The correlations between optical spectra, time-domain waveforms, and RF spectra are quantitatively studied.
