Abstract

The development of transform-limited optical pulse sources with broad wavelength tunability and short pulse widths is extremely important for use in future high-speed communication systems, espeically in applications such as Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM), Optical Time Division Multiplexing (OTDM), Hybrid WDM/OTDM and soliton systems. Recent reports had revealed wavelength tunable Self-Seeded Gain-Switched (SSGS) pulses with widths of about 90-130ps and Side Mode Suppression Ratios (SMSR) of 32 dB that are tunable between 19 and 26 nm. This paper shows the generation of shorter pulses that exhibit SMSR's greater than 50 dB and wider tuning range.
