Device for generating multi-wavelength and ultra-high-speed optical pulses

Abstract

A device for generating multiple wavelengths, comprising a pulse light source configured to emit a series of optical pulses, each of the optical pulses being defined by a central wavelength having a first pulse duration and a first bandwidth, and a first hollow-core optical fiber having a core diameter d, the first hollow-core optical fiber being configured to spectrally broaden the series of optical pulses, thereby generating a series of multi-wavelength pulses having a plurality of wavelengths, wherein the first hollow-core optical fiber has a dispersion selected such that the optical pulses are spectrally broadened mainly by self-phase modulation (SPM).
