Abstract

Optical Time Division Multiplexing (OTDM) is attracting much attention for use in future largecapacity optical communication systems. In such systems, optical pulses with short pulse width, high repetition rate, low timing jitter, and low chirp, are required. This paper reviews ultrafast optical pulse sources, such as modelocked semiconductor lasers, electroabsorption modulators, and mode-locked fiber lasers.
