MINIATURIZED SOURCES OF ULTRASHORT OPTICAL PULSES AND HIGH SPECTRAL PURITY MICROWAVE SIGNALS
A train of ultrashort optical pulses is comprised of a large number of laser tones oscillating synchronously. This
equally-spaced array of frequencies, called an optical frequency comb, has found applications in the generation
of high…
