Stable terahertz carrier generation with soliton oscillator

This paper focuses the design of an oscillator for stable terahertz carrier generation with soliton pulses. The proposed soliton oscillator generates periodic train of ultra short-width impulses using the background noise from amplifier as an input. The oscillator is made stable with a series combination of NLTL and a unique adaptive bias controlled amplifier. A new NLTL has been designed so that the oscillator can generate terahertz range. The challenge of lacking synchronization between NLTL and the amplifier has been overcome in our proposed design.
