| Popis: | The insertion of three continuous-wave optical frequencies in a low-dispersion optical fibre resulted in the generation of a high-repetition-rate train of ultra-short pulses and its simultaneous wavelength conversion. Two of the frequencies were spaced by ∼0.17 THz and multi-wave mixing generated a frequency comb to which is associated a train of 1.6 ps pulses. Wave-mixing between the generated comb and the third input optical frequency then converts the pulse train into different wavelengths. The Split-Step Fourier method was applied to numerically simulate the generation/wavelength conversion and results are in good agreement with experiments. |
