Abstract :
A novel method for generating multiwavelength-channel picosecond optical pulses from a single laser source is proposed using supercontinuum in optical fibres combined with an all-fibre birefringent periodic filter. More than 100-wavelength-channel, 10 ps optical pulses are generated simultaneously over a 1.224-1.394 mu m spectral range with a 1.9 nm spacing using a 7.6 ps Nd:YLF laser pulse source.
