Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate a simple scheme for tunable repetition rate multiplication based on the fractional Talbot effect using a linearly tunable, chirped fiber Bragg grating. The key component in this scheme is our linearly tunable, chirped FBG without its center wavelength shift, which was fabricated with the S-bending method using a uniform FBG. By simply tuning the GVD of the chirped FBG, we readily multiply an original 8.5 ps, 10 GHz soliton pulse train by a factor of 2 - 5 to obtain high quality pulses at repetition rates of 20 - 50 GHz without significant system configuration change.
