Abstract

A 10-GHz source of pulse-width-tunable bandwidth-limited optical pulses operating near 1.55 μm based on an electroabsorption modulator and a tunable-dispersion chirped fiber Bragg grating is described both experimentally and theoretically. The pulse-width range attainable from this device is significantly extended through the exploitation of nonlinear adiabatic solitonlike pulse compression and spectral filtering.
