“…Significant increase of the pulse energy has been realized by using parabolic pulses [1,2] and, more recently, all-normal-dispersion cavities [3,4]. Another area of intense investigation is the realization of frequency combs [5,6], for which stable, multi-wavelength operation is needed in view of applications such as dense wavelength-division multiplexing [7] or optical metrology [8]. Highrepetition-rate fiber lasers naturally deliver such frequency comb distributions [9].…”

a b s t r a c tWe review our recent experimental and theoretical results addressing the dynamics of large numbers of solitons interacting in presence of a background in passively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber lasers. We first characterize experimentally the soliton rain complex dynamics, and then we focus on ordered soliton patterns. We report that, for suitable experimental parameters, a continuous wave can impose harmonic mode locking. Two levels of modeling for a mode-locked laser subjected to the external injection of a continuous wave are developed to support the latter observation. The first one is based on a scalar master equation, while the second one takes into account the mode-locking mechanism more accurately through a vectorial approach.

“…It potentially provides a wider frequency comb and, more importantly, it allows to get rid of the custom nonlinear Mach-Zehnder. FWM has been studied extensively for the generation of optical frequency combs [35][36] [37]. In particular, zero-dispersion-slope highly nonlinear fibers (HNLF) are now available and offer many advantages in terms of efficiency and easy integration.…”

Optoelectronic down-conversion and phase locking of mm-wave and THz optical beatnotes using interleaved combs is presented. The generation of the required combs using either nonlinear modulation or four-wave-mixing in highly nonlinear fibers is detailed. These down conversion techniques are then implemented to phase-lock widely tunable mm-wave beatnotes well below the laser linewidth itself. Such achievements are made possible through a thorough trade-off between laser characteristics, optoelectronic arrangement, and electronicfeedback design. These advanced techniques give a new trend for bridging the gap between microwave and THz photonics.

“…No campo de amplificação em sistemas RoF, fibras altamente nãolineares (HNLF -highly nonlinear fiber) são utilizadas para intensificar o FWM. Estas fibras tipicamente possuem altos coeficientes de não-linearidade (γ) bem como comprimento de onda de dispersão nula (λ 0 ) na janela de transmissão [11]. Complementarmente, elevadas potências de bombeio são utilizadas para melhorar a eficiência na geração de produtos FWM.…”
