Low-loss waveguides in borosilicate glass fabricated by high-repetition-Rate femtosecond chirp-pulsed oscillator

We describe fabrication and characterisation of smooth low-loss waveguides in BK7 optical glass bymeans of direct femtosecond inscription with chirp-pulse oscillator, operating at 800 nm and 11 MHz repetition rate.

Non-periodic quasi-stable nonlinear optical carrier pulses with sliding chirp-free points for transmission at 40 Gbit/s rate

In this paper, we demonstrate the possibility of reaching a quasi-stable nonlinear transmission regime with carrier pulses of 12.5 ps width in multi-channel 40 Gbit/s systems. The quasi-stable pulses that are presented in this work for the first time are not dispersion-managed solitons, and are indeed supported by a large normal span average dispersion and misbalanced optical amplification, and representing a new type of nonlinear carrier.

Ultrafast all-optical Nth-order differentiator and simultaneous repetition-rate multiplier of periodic pulse train

The letter presents a technique for Nth-order differentiation of periodic pulse train, which can simultaneously multiply the input repetition rate. This approach uses a single linearly chirped apodized fiber Bragg grating, which grating profile is designed to map the spectral response of the Nth-order differentiator, and the chirp introduces a dispersion that, besides space-to-frequency mapping, it also causes a temporal Talbot effect.
