This paper proposed an approach to design an evenly spaced, 1.8 THz spectrally broad and 1.6 dB flat optical frequency comb (OFC) by exploiting the cross-phase modulation in highly nonlinear fiber. The OFC is realized by controlling the phase of the signals in two parallelly placed highly nonlinear fibers. The frequency and line spacing of the OFC can be tuned by simply varying the periodicity and central wavelength of input electrical and optical signal, respectively.
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.
