  • Abstract
    A simple technique for converting a continuous-wave laser beam into a stable pulse train with high repetition frequency is demonstrated. The generated train is based on the synthesis of its Fourier spectrum which is composed of higher-order sidebands produced by a Fabry-Perot resonator integrated with an electro-optic phase modulator. Super-stable 40 GHz, transform-limited optical pulses are successfully generated.
