Abstract

Recently reported optical pulse generators may suffer from large pedestal, large duty cycle, bias drift and/or high-power consumption [1,2]. Besides, each injected CW laser merely results in pulse on one wavelength using these schemes, which is uneconomical. In this study, we propose a multi-wavelength pedestal-free Gaussian optical pulse generator with low duty cycles on wavelengths twice the number of the incident CW lasers using time lens based pulse carver and pulse compressor without bias drift issue.
