Multi-gigahertz femtosecond pulses from linear and nonlinear propagation of a phase-modulated laser.

We propose and demonstrate a non-mode-locking approach to generating multi-gigahertz repetition rate, femtosecond pulses in burst mode by shaping a continuous-wave (CW) seed laser in an all-fiber configuration. The seed laser at 1030 nm is first phase modulated and de-chirped to low-contrast, ∼2 ps pulses at a 17.5 GHz repetition rate, then carved to bursts at a 60 kHz repetition rate, and finally shaped to <2 ps clean pulses by a Mamyshev regenerator.

High-power nonlinear amplification of an ultrafast electro-optic frequency comb with flexible GHz repetition rate.

We report on an all-fiber 200 W widely tunable GHz electro-optic (EO) frequency comb operating in the nonlinear regime. The EO comb pulses at 1030 nm are initially pre-compressed to sub-2 ps, then power amplified to 2.5 W, and finally boosted to 200 W in a newly designed large-mode-area, Yb-doped photonic crystal fiber.

Electro-optic comb pumped optical parametric oscillator with flexible repetition rate at GHz level.

We present a gigahertz (GHz)-repetition-rate optical parametric oscillator (OPO) pumped by an electro-optic comb at 1.03 µm, delivering sub-picosecond signal pulses across 1.5-1.

Multi-GHz repetition rate, femtosecond deep ultraviolet source in burst mode derived from an electro-optic comb.

We present a femtosecond, 11.48 GHz intra-burst repetition rate deep UV source at 258 nm based on forth-harmonic generation (FHG) of an electro-optic (EO) comb operating in burst mode. Second-harmonic generation (SHG) of the burst-mode EO comb in LiBO (LBO) leads to 3.
