Abstract :
The generation of successive pulses at different wavelengths is demonstrated in an actively modelocked fibre laser. The time and wavelength spacings between emitted pulses are controlled by insertion of a phase modulator and a fibre Mach-Zehnder, respectively. Three-wavelength operation at an aggregate rate of 9.4 GHz is reported.
