Synchronous, ultrahigh repetition-rate bright/dark pulse train generation using non-linear beat-signal conversion techniques

Abstract

We describe a simple, all-fiber, synchronous source of 110 GHz, 800fs bright solitons and 2.4ps dark pulses based on nonlinear beat-signal transformation techniques. Dark train modulation depths in excess of 80% are confirmed by cross-correlation of the two outputs.
