Abstract
A novel scheme is proposed to transform an ultra-short optical pulse to a
millimeter-wave frequency-modulated pulse by using the cascaded all-pass cavities
(APCs). The envelope waveform of the generated pulse train is calculated, showing
effective improvement by APC cascading. The extinction ratio is analyzed with
different input pulses, different cavity refectivities, and different cascading
numbers. It is shown that the cascading does not introduce much effect on the
extinction ratio. Two designs by using Gires-Tournois cavity and waveguide ring
resonators are proposed to realize the cascaded APC.
