PLEASE DO NOT RETURN YOUR FORM TO THE ABOVE ORGANIZATION. REPORT DATE (DD-MM-YYYY)2 Optical arbitrary waveform generation using the line-by-line pulse shaping technique has been shown to be sensitive to variations in the offset frequency of the input frequency comb due to time-domain waveform interference. Here we present a frequency-domain model that is able to predict waveform changes arising from offset frequency variations. In experiments we controllably shift the frequency of a comb derived from a phase-modulated CW laser, which allows us to quantitatively investigate waveforms generated by pulse shaping as a function of offset frequency. Experimental data are in excellent agreement with the predictions of our frequency-domain model.

“…The CW light emitted from an external cavity laser (ECL) operating at 1080 nm was coupled into a LiNbO 3 phase modulator (PM) and a 10 GHz sinusoidal phase modulation was applied to the CW light. The sinusoidally phase-modulated light can be converted into an optical pulse train by applying group delay dispersion (GVD) to the light [4,5]. As a GVD device, we used a linearly chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG) with a −1 dB bandwidth of 20 nm and a dispersion parameter D of 60 ps/nm.…”

“…2 shows the setup used for PE measurements. The pulse source consists of a continuous wave (CW) laser centered at 1548.32 nm, a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) used to carve 50% duty cycle pulses, and a phase modulator (PM) followed by a length of standard single mode fibre (SMF) for pulse compression [12]. The PM is driven by a 40 GHz radio frequency (RF) signal with V pp = 2V π , where V pp is the peak-to-peak voltage of the RF signal and V π is the half-wave voltage of the PM.…”

Although patterning effects (PEs) are known to be a limiting factor of ultrafast photonic switches based on semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), a simple approach for their evaluation in numerical simulations and experiments is missing. In this work, we experimentally investigate and verify a theoretical prediction of the pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS) length needed to capture the full impact of PEs. A wide range of SOAs and operation conditions are investigated. The very simple form of the PRBS length condition highlights the role of two parameters, i.e. the recovery time of the SOAs as well as the operation bit rate. Furthermore, a simple and effective method for probing the maximum PEs is demonstrated, which may relieve the computational effort or the experimental difficulties associated with the use of long PRBSs for the simulation or characterization of SOA-based switches. Good agrement with conventional PRBS characterization is obtained. The method is suitable for quick and systematic estimation and optimization of the switching performance.
