AN OPTICAL PLURAL-COMB GENERATOR, A METHOD OF GENERATING AN OPTICAL PLURAL COMB, AND A PLURALITY OF MODE LOCKED LASERS THAT ARE MECHANICALLY COUPLED AND OPTICALLY INDEPENDENT

摘要

An optical plural-comb generator comprising a plurality of mode-locked lasers that are mechanically coupled and optically independent. The optical plural-comb generator comprises an optical combiner optically coupled to an output of each of the plurality of mode-locked lasers for combining a plurality of optical combs when generated by the plurality of mode-locked lasers.
