Abstract
We use the direct temporal domain approach to design spectrally periodic
optical filters for pulse repetition rate multiplication (PRRM) with
envelope shaping. In particular, we demonstrate a tunable lattice-form
Mach–Zehnder interferometer using Silica-based planar lightwave
circuit (PLC) for arbitrary 4-bit binary amplitude code generation at 40 GHz
and to increase the repetition rate of a 10 GHz input pulse train to 20 GHz
or 40 GHz. In addition to PRRM and envelope shaping, the device also has the
capability of arbitrary phase coding.
