  • Abstract
    Using optical fiber amplification and phase modulation, we demonstrate experimentally the generation of pulses with characteristics that are close to Nyquist limited sinc pulses. Bandwidth limited pulses of full width half maximum less than 17 ps at 10 GHz repetition rate are achieved.
