Abstract
This paper proposes an approach for the generation of high time–bandwidth product (TBP) and high repetition rate pulse compression period signal. The complex spectral grating is created through a reference pulse and multiple programming pulses with different start frequencies. As the multiple probe chirped pulses with different start frequencies interact with the complex spectral gratings, a high TBP and repetition rate period signal is thus generated. This technique has the potential to generate a time–bandwidth product of when the repetition rate reaches up to tens of GHz. At the end of this paper, two simulation results of pulse compression period signal with TBP and 20 GHz repetition rate are presented.
