Generation and Detection of Ultra Short Pulses

  Jasmine Bhambra,  Harjinder Singh

Data traffic is expected to grow rapidly because of the emergence of high-band width consuming services and application. The rapid growth of various technologies, for example, video streaming, the expansion of major telecommunication infrastructure, etc., has raised the demand for high network capacity to deliver data traffic. Various technologies have emerged to fulfill the demands of increased data capacity. Ultra short pulse is an electromagnetic pulse having a time period in picoseconds or even less than that. Ultra short pulses offer high capacity for transmission of data traffic. The research focused on the generation of Ultra short pulses using fiber lasers which include active optical modulators of amplitude or phase types. Along with this, the research would first review various techniques to generate Ultra short pulses. The overall experimental model includes fiber laser that is based on the mode locking to generate Ultra short pulses by employing saturable absorber. The proposed system will compose of some components which are optical fiber amplifier, DC components, and an undoped fiber. The main component is the Saturable absorber which is used to generate the optical pulse and to achieve mode locking.

Keywords- Ultra short pulse, optical fiber, pulse generation, fiber laser, mode-lock lasers.
