Abstract :
Experimentally generated is a 1 THz, 97 fs optical pulse train at 1.55 cm wavelength region based on a comb-like profiled fibre, which consists of 15 pairs of highly nonlinear fibres (HNLFs) and standard singlemode fibres. Such high-repetition rate pulse generation in the 100 fs regime was made possible by the HNLF with high nonlinearity and small dispersion slope.
