Abstract

A simple optical pulse generator based on a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is demonstrated with an easy-generated external optical pulse sequence. Using the cross-gain modulation and self-phase modulation effects inside an SOA, the simple optical pulse generator generates a 10 GHz 3.8 ps optical pulse train with an extremely low timing jitter of 60 fs.
