Abstract :
Square pulses with controllable picosecond durations have been generated from a CW input signal in the region of 1.5 mu m by using switching in a nonlinear loop mirror. The square pulses are generated in synchronism with a pulsed driver which can be a noise burst. Shaped pulses have also been derived using this technique.
