Abstract :
We demonstrate a novel scheme of photonic ultrawideband doublet pulse generation using single optical Gaussian pulse by employing cross-phase modulation in a semiconductor amplifier-based nonlinear optical loop mirror. Our scheme shows advantages of simple structure and good fiber dispersion tolerance.
