Abstract
We propose a novel power efficient multistage fiber loop mirror pulse generator (FLMPG) scheme which transforms a single optical pulse into 3 N optical pulses. While a conventional parallel scheme loses 2/3 of total power to convert an optical pulse into three optical pulses, our scheme loses only 2/5 of total power, improving the efficiency 1.8 times. The 3 N optical pulse generator combined with the well-known ladder scheme 2 N optical pulse generator can provide more flexibility for generating an arbitrary number of optical pulses. Two-stage and three-stage fiber loop mirror pulse generators are analyzed theoretically by the Jones matrix method. In addition, we have successfully realized two-stage and three-stage FLMPGs which generate three and nine pulses out of one pulse, respectively.
