Abstract
We provide design guidelines and resulting outputs of a self-pulsating source based on regenerative
self-phase modulation and offset band-pass filtering. We assess the conditions for self-pulsation and discuss the
output pulse properties under the influence of spectral separation between the filters and their bandwidth. We also
examine the source behavior when the central wavelength of the bandpass filters are subject to increasing spectral
separation in the pulse-buffering regime. The results emphasize the role of chromatic dispersion for the reduction of
amplitude and timing jitter.
