We demonstrate ultrahigh repetition rate beat signal generation by filtering two modes from the optical spectrum of a 110 GHz pulse train produced by a 1.56 μm wavelength, subharmonic hybrid mode locked monolithic semiconductor distributed Bragg reflector laser. The beat signal repetition rate can be tuned to any higher harmonic of the 110 GHz frequency up to 1.34 THz. Furthermore, the filtering technique facilitates low phase noise and synchronization with these signals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
