Abstract

A spectrally sliced pulse source was analyzed utilizing a supercontinuum (SC) generated in a normally dispersive nonlinear holely fiber (HF) and spectral slicing in an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG). The source comprised of a 10-GHz regeneratively mode-locked erbium fiber ring laser (EFRL) that operated at 1553 nm and generated 2.1-ps soliton pulses. The pulsewidth and time-bandwidth product were almost constant across all the 36 10-GHz channels, as verified by the bit-error-rate measurements. The short device lengths enabled by the use of highly nonlinear HF enhanced system stability and reliability and facilitated ready synchronization of all wavelength division multiplexing channels.
