Abstract :
A novel method to generate ultra-wideband (UWB) monocycle pulses based on birefringence time delay in polarisation-maintaining fibre (PMF) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Two polarity-reverse pulses are generated by polarisation modulation using a single phase modulator. They are delayed in PMF with enough time to generate monocycle pulse
