Abstract :
Summary form only given. To improve WDM technology, many projects are dedicated to the design of multiwavelength pulsed sources. Especially, S Li has realized a mode-locked fiber laser which emits simultaneously three wavelengths using dispersion effects. We propose a novel method to create pulse trains where each pulse has its own wavelength using intracavity wavelength modulation.
